It ts a debt that can never he cancelled. Mut with prateful hearts, revering the memory . of those u ho gave their liv es that others might live and as a mark of respect to those who grasped the flam ing torch and bore it aloft until the victory was wrested from the enemies of mainkind. a token shall be given and a symbol shall be raised. It will stand, this memorial erected to the Ifronor- of our soldier sons and by which the affections of prateful people will be given expression, a sacred shrine, a place hallowed because of its associations, and bespeaking the undying gl »rv of valiant cru saders whose nobility it symbolizes, the pride of today and the inspiration of tomorrow. X.) state has a prouder record in the mighty struggle so recently brought to a victorious eno than lias South Carolina. The flower of her young manhood was given, and on the land and on the sea. wherever duty led. they gave good account of themselves. South Carolina troops of the immortal Thirtieth Division were in the van guard when the Mindenburg line, that theretofore impregnable network of defense on which the hope of militarism and autocracy depended, was broken. 1.'nitil the last shot of the war was fired South ffa,rolinians lived up to the best traditions of the state and by their splendid conduct on the field and their unwavering devotion to duty reflected undy- nig glor\ upon their people back home. 1’ut giv ing of themselves unsparingly, even of their blood. South Carolina's sons who went forth com panions in arms fought and endured, suffered and triumph ed not for themselves alone. They gave themselves, those who have returned to us in victory and those who sleep within the bosom of ITance. to the highest service for which the drum beats and the bagle notes have ever called men to arms—that men might still he free and that “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ should not become a haunting memory and a bitter mockery. To honor those who bared their breasts and f.i”ined a bulwark of their bodies against the mighty ;'*>e striking at the heart of humanity is to honor ourselves. In our hearts we cherish the mem »r\ of the fallen hefoes and we acclaim those spa ceil to ns, hailing them victors and glorying in the valor of their spirit and achievement. l>ut as a imghtv people speaking with one voice we would give expression to that which is in our hearts ve;.ruing tor utterance and shape it into permanent am) beautiful form to stand for all time as a testi monial of our gratitude to our benefactors and to the benefactors of all mankind. In tiie raising of this memorial every loyal and true South Carolinian will desire a part. It is a V.^use which appeals with peculiar force directly to die hearts of the people for it is Sonin Carolina's own martyred sons buried where they fell with their faces to the foe in a foreign land a'cross seas w ho in consecrating themselves to the sacred cause ot human liberty and laying down their lives upon the altar of God and country have inspired it. It will symbolize their virtues and enshrine their hal lowed memory.
