On this day our people gather in many places throughout the land not only to honor our departed heroes but dlso to enrich and ennoble our- selves by holding spiritual commun- ion with those honored dead. The praise and honor of a great nation are offered to the heroes of. its wars—all of which were fought in the defense of this nation or for the cause of humanity. As a result of the Civil War our na- tion became one and inseparable. The Spanish-American ir estab- lished the position of the United States as one of the great world powers, The great World War again dem- onstrates the spirit of this nation in the face of the insulting menace to_the democracy of America. Recently it was my great privilege as commander-in-chief of the United Spanish War Veterans to dedicate a tablet on the beautiful and im- pressive monument erected by the grateful people of Cuba to the vic- tims of the Maine. This monument, everlooking Ha- vana Harbor, typifies the friendship of two sister republics, whith has heen hallowed by the mingled blood of their heroes and I here repeat a few of the sentences which I used in’ that dedication The grand bodies of the Inde: | pendent Order of Odd Fellows and ‘Auxiliaries are meeting in Valley City this. week.
