Honor and tribute to dead soldiers and sailors
Preparations have been completed by the living soldiers of America’s wars to honor their dead comrades who lie in the burial places of the dead, whether this be in the quiet hillside cemetery of Valley Brook in Breckenridge, the National Cemetery at Arlington on Potomac hill overlooking the capital of our beloved country, on the poppy fields of France, or even resting beneath the waters of the seas of the world.
For weeks past there have been burials of the dead of the great war every day in Arlington. The sound of taps is heard through the great forest trees and the valleys in honor of the dead. This year the surviving veterans of the Civil War, the Indians wars and the Spanish war will join with the members of the American Legion in doing honor to those who have answered their last roll call on earth.
