Th Man who Wears the Bronze
Button.
John M. Thurston has written the
following beautiful tribute to the man
who wears the little bronze button:
"Sometimes in passing along the street
I meet a man who on the left lapel of
his coat wears a little bronze button.
The coat is often old and rusty, the face
seamed and furrowed by the toil and
suffering of years. Perhaps above it
hangs an empty sleeve and below it
stumps a wooden peg. But when I
meet a man who wears a button I doff
my hat and stand uncovered in his
presence—yea, to me the very dust of
his weary feet have passed the holy
ground, for I know that man in the
dark hour of the nation's peril, bared
his breast to the hell of battle to keep
the flag of our country in the union
sky. Maybe at Donelson he reached
the inner trench; at Shiloh held the
broken line; at Chattanooga climbed
the fiaine swept hill, or stormed the
Lookout Heights. He was not born or
bred to a soldier's life. His country's
cummons called him from the bench,
the mine, the store, the office, the col.
lege, the sanctuary. He did not fight
for the greed of gold, to find adventure
or to win renown. He loved the peace
of quiet ways and yet he broke the
clasp of clinging arms, turned from the
glance of bewitching and tender eyes,
left goodbye kisses on tiny lips to look
death in the face on desperate fields.
And when the war was over, he quietly
took up the broken threads of love and
life as best he could, a better citizen
for having been so good a soldier."
The more helpful the deed the mure
holy the day.
