Summary
"This
is
a
sight
to
bring
pride
to the
heart
of
every
American-
out
National
army
,
thousands
and
thousands
of
stalwart
men
, from
every
rank
of
life
,
enlisted
in the
service
of their
country
,
sworn
to
defend
its
honor
and its
rights
. These are the
men
who
afterwards
went
to
France
and on
many
a
bloody
field
, in
many
a
desperate
battle
,
rushed
like
a
cyclone
upon
the
German
ranks
,
smashed
through
their
supposedly
impregnable
defenses
,
sent
their
troops
reeling
backward
in
defeat
. Here
our
men
are
marching
through
the
streets
of
one
of
our
great
cities
. In these
ranks
were
poor
and
rich
,
educated
and
uneducated
,
native
and
foreign
born
,
undergoing
the
same
training
,
eating
the
same
food
,
united
in a
common
cause
. For
months
they
drilled
and
marched
and
coutermarched
until
their
muscles
became
like
steel
bands
;
learned
to
use
rifle
,
grenade
and
bayonet
; were
welded
into a
fighting
machine
fit
to
cope
with
Germany's
proud
battalions
. These
men
went
to
war
in
grim
and
serious
mood
. They
knew
what
hardships
and
horrors
would be their
lot
. They
knew
that
many
of their
number
would
fall
on the
soil
of
France
; that
many
would
return
crippled
for
life
; that
many
would
suffer
agony
from
grievous
wounds
.
Yet
their
country
was
menaced
;
because
all
they
held
most
hear
was in
danger
. They
went
because
they were
patriots
.
America
had for these "
boys
" a
sacred
place
in the
inner
shrine
of her
heart
. They were
bone
of her
bone
,
blood
of her
blood
,
Sons
of
Freedom
,
offering
up
their
lives
on the
alter
of their
country."-Taken
