Gallantly, they morchec f^rth, united as one in defense of freedom. And with unflinching courage and un yielding devotion to cause, they gave their lives so that our pre cious heritage of liberty might endure. Lest their deeds be forgot ten or ignobled, and their sacrifices be in vain, let us all now re solve to be equally steadfast and courageous in preserving that which has been so heroically achieved. Let us dedicote our selves to ever cherish and uphold that priceless freedom, which is the legacy of those whose memory we honor today.
