ow our hero list has lengthened since that
first Memorial Day on which were hon-
ored the brave men who struggled to
make and preserve us a nation! We have hosts
of brave soldiers to pay tribute to now. With
real pride we bare our heads, silently promising
to preserve the ideals for which they fought—
“that they shall not have died in vain.”
