"...gather around
their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with
choicest flowers of springtime....let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges
to aid and assist those whom they have left among us as sacred charges upon
the Nation's gratitude,--the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan."
--General John Logan, General Order No. 11, 5 May 1868
