Excerpt from Holyoke in the Great War To the men who preferred death, than life enslaved by the Hun; To the women who sent their men to battle with a smile, and who were strong under trials; To the workers, men and women, who filled the ranks of industry in the second army behind the lines; To the heroes who died that the world might be made again a safe and decent place to live in; To the' victors who returned with a consciousness that, by their valor, free nations have been saved, and oppressed peoples delivered.
