Quotes
The memory of all, even of the humblest whose record occupies no greater space in the world's history than the breadth of a small granite slab, wide enough to hold above the waving grass in any of the great cities of the dead the touching word, each letter of which suggests a tear— "Unknown," deserves to be held by their surviving comrades, by their fellow countrymen of to-day, and by endless generations yet to come, in tender, affectionate, everlasting remembrance.
Gen. John Sedgwick : an address delivered before the Vermont Officers' Reunion Society, at their sixteenth annual meeting at Montpelier, Nov. 11, 1880
