citizens are pleased because of the
honor and will again giye to the veterans of 'Gl-'GS, whose thinning ranks
can never know an increase.^ a most
hearty welcome. A movement is now
on foot in the association to select
some town as a permanent place in
which to hold the reunions. Barracks
will be built and the vets will try to
make their association self-supporting.
