Tatlock, in behalf of the veterans of the Third Iowa Calvary, presented Weber with a United States flag to carry when on parade. The flag is made of silk and is six feet by eight feet in size. It is attached to a jointed flag pole, which is surmounted by the American Eagle. Besides Colonel Ttalock, the Third Iowa Veterans were represented by Mrs. H. E. Cain, a daughter of one of the veterans. Her part in the program was the reading of a paper entitled, "The Third Iowa Veterans." Comrade B. F. Bair presented the school with two pictures- one, the fighting Presidents, Washington, Grant and Roosevelt; the other, the martyr Presidents, Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. We thank him most sincerely for his gift to Weber. There were a number of veterans present, and the spirit of the occasion was one of patriotism. It seems that these dear old soldiers have solved the secret of finding joy, and are making their last years happy by giving. It is not only the great worth of the flag that makes it so dear to us-it is the givers. These noble men who fought to preserve our Union have indeed taught us many lessons in patriot- ism. Our national emblem seems more sacred to us when we look into the faces of htese men who have offered their lives to preserve it, men whose comrades' blood has washed the stains of slavery from the stars and stripes. How our hearts throb with patriotism when we hear them tell of the greatest conflict in modern times-when brother fought against brother-and all to preserve that flag. Men of the G. A. R., and especially veterans of the Third Iowa Cavalry, we thank you for the flag you have given us, for the lessons your lives teach us, for the unstained flag which is the heritage of every true American, and for preserving in one this great nation, the future of which, we realize, rests upon us. Col. E. W. TATLOCK |
