Other flags, sheltering and honoring other men, will follow that first flag, and Germany will see the Stars and Stripes flying at the forefront of armies. Yet some measure of sanctity must be accorded that pioneer banner, adventuring out on unknown fields against a people which we have never before held...

But whether they ride on gallant steeds or whether they ride on gallant steeds or whether they walk, not one member of the class faithful to the goddess of music and light will be missing when the orchestra starts on the first one-step...
