Excerpt from The American Legion Magazine, Vol. 24: May, 1938 Union Army for whom no more would Reveille sound this side oi Jordan. Abraham Lincoln etched the other side of the shield when in his immortal Second Inaugural Address he called upon the nation to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orph'an. As he spoke these words on March 4, 1865, the tired President was doubtless thinking of the great city of the dead which a few short months before had come into being on Arlington Heights across the Potomac, the Arlington which we know today as the last resting place of the Unknown Soldier of the World War. It is a National Cemetery in which any veteran of the naval or military service of the nation may find sanctuary for the long sleep - the largest and most notable of the ninety-three National Cemeteries maintained by the United States.
