A TRIBUTE TO Our

Heroes

“Let us, then, at the time appointed gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of spring time; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor; let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us a sacred charge upon a nation's gratitude...” ~ Excerpt from General Order No. 11 issued by Headquarters, Grand Army of the Republic,Washington DC May 5, 1868
