But to us the stripes are crimson wdth the blood of a hundred thousand heroes whose ebbing life was the flood tide on whjch our liberties rose for a vantage-ground of eternal securi- ty, and its stars stand firm as the stars in heaven, not only undiminished, but ever increasing in number and in lustre. What an inheritance has thus been transmitted to us as the inspiration and the pledge of our fidelity ! 3 18 We need not now search the annals of ancient history for illustrations of heroism and ...patriotic devotion. We need go no more to Marathon and Thermopylae. We need not appeal to Leonidas to inspire our courage, nor suffer the trophies of Miltiades to break our sleep. We need not even go back to Lexington and Bunker Hill, to Prescott and Warren. We have in our own times as bright a galaxy of noble names, as grand a pile of trophies. Where are the fields that shall dim the lustre of Antietam and Gettysburg, of Winchester and Cedar Creek, of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, of Murfreesborough and Lookout Mountain ^ Where in military annals are the movements that compare in rapidity with the raids of Sheridan, in grandeur with the march of Sherman, in persistency with the advance of Grant?
