Howdy old timer! Ill have to ride this time. We 80 here represent the very few of the 2,800,000 of 1861-1865 who are left. Well Ill march with the 40 who can - might be our last parade. Those here average 95 years of age. I see this war expects an army of 13,000,000. Wonder how long after victory theyll keep meetings as we have! 76th annual encampment of G.A.R.
