Excerpt from Journal of the Thirty-Ninth National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, Denver, Colorado: September 7th and 8th, 1905 Bless the dear ones who mourn. We pray especially for the loving friend and companion of our late commander-in-chief. God bless and sustain her. And we pray for all those who have lost dear ones in the past year and in all the years of our Encamp ments. We pray for all those living who took part in that great struggle. God bless and keep them. We pray for the President of these United States and his family and household, and all those in authority from one end of the land to the other, for the Army and Navy, for the citizens, for the children of our great nation, who love the old flag and are trained to respect it. God bless and guide every one of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
