TO
“THE BOYS WHO WORE THE GRAY,”
WHETHER THE LOFTY OR THE LOWLY; EQUALLY TO THE SURVIVING HEROES WHO STAND BEFORE THE WORLD IN THE LIGHT OF A GLORY NEVER SURPASSED, AND TO THE MARTYRS WHOSE PATRIOT BLOOD AND SACRED GRAVES HAVE FOREVER SANCTIFIED THE LAND THEY LOVED,
THESE “MEMORIES”
ARE RESPECTFULLY AND LOVINGLY DEDICATED.
