"Men of this State fought splendidly in the Thirtieth, the irghty-fIrst, the Rainbow and other divisions, in the navy and in the marine organizations. These mon dedicated their lives to the great cause of universal justice. It is due them that the memorial be crect eds it is necessary for the rest of us that w erect it, else we shall suffer be caure of duty and appreciation ne gle'.ed, of inspiration lost. Those who suffered the untold miseries of muddy fields and battle Perils, those who traveled over the treacherous seas will ever be remembered gratefully by us all. This memorial is -but. one tok en of this reniembrance. The work and sacriflees of our wo men have made a brilliant page in our history. Without their unilled assist alee, their sympathy, prayers anid courage, ite mnortle of ou r ighti ng miei would have fall en, and battles woni would have been battles lost. Shmali1 this lhapter of our history be neglected? The memorial building will keep the facts fresh in mind. South Carolina as a State is bettor; we as inodivifduals at.e bette.r for hav ingI had tile soldlers, Sailors aid ma rines as fri en ds, brothers, sons, fa thers, husha tids.
