I had charge of 50 men but I got sick of so much complaining & got a birth in the hospital & there I set up 3 nights in secession & next day was sick with headache, but it did not last but one day I guess it done me good for awhile ago I saw all the boys most home sick & I thought it must a terrible feeling by the way they acted So I thought I would go out in the woods & be home sick awhile & see how it felt but it was a mistake for me to go into the woods for I am always at home in the woods but I sit down on a log & put my face in my hands to bring it on & began to think of home when I heard a nois & looked up & there was a pheasant makeing anois some like a quail when it sees something it is fraid of I up and after it with a club & forgot all about being homesick but when I got the headache I found out how one felt & I would pity a dog that was homesick. Why it looked to me as though the war would last forever & as though 50 rebbles would whip all of us & I thought I had the typhoid feavor & would be sick the rest of the winter but next morning I felt so much better that it looked as though it would take 10,000 to whip us Title A name given to the resource Hiram C.

Fuller] [left column] Now I have got as stout as ever & feel as though I could whip a regiment of them. The other night we were on picket & some scouts had gone out that day to see what the enimy were at & got parted & part of them come in & reported the rest taken by the rebbles & that the rebbles were comeing to attack our camp that night so the officer of the day come round to instruct the pickets just at dark & he was badly scart. I was stationed 2 miles from camp down the river from the bridge with 4 men. At the bridge they had 20 men & they built up with logs at each end of the bridge & had the plank loose so as to stop them from crossing there and if they turned down the river they could not cross till they got down to where I was for it was deep & high banks so the officer of the day see that & told me we mus hold that place at all hazzards I told him verry coolly we could do it no danger of us we could hold it till reinforced from camp & he seamed to be satisfied & went up to camp & enquired who I was. It made a good deal of laugh to to think he would ask 5 men to hold a position against 500 & to get assured that it should be done without fail made him sleep sound I expect. but I knew that the rebbles dare not come to us nor fight only behind their brestworks, & them men that were reported lost come in the nex morning. They had got lost hunting chestnuts. There was a negro come from their camp to our pickets & they brought him in & he told where the rebbles had cattle & he led a company of scouts the other night & they went beyond their fort 4 miles & got 40 head of cattle & six head of horses & found a post office in a little town & they brought all the letters. The negger is quite a hero in our camp he stepes around as big as cuffy. Some day he will go back maybe [right column] We have 6 sick men in our part of the hospital they have the winter or they call here the mountain feavor some of them are pretty sick they are generly deranged nights & some all the time. The boys are all mad about staying here this I guess I am the only one that liked it & I was glad for there is some excitement here all the time we are near enough the rebbles to see one once in a while & there is lots of game in the woods of all kinds & if I get a rifle some of them will catch it. If I dont kill a bear this winter I dont know as I ever will if I dont I can kill some pheasants & squirrels & they will go well here. I shall have some leasure if I stay in the hospital for Dock says we shall have plenty of help but when the old Dock get back I may leave for I did not like him much but may like him better when he comes back & he may never come back for they have not heard from him since he left only by the papers noticeing his arrival in Cin. I want you to oversee things a little this winter & not let the stock get poor & encourage the boys all you can & tell them how to manage & write to me how things are going there & all the news.

I want you to see that the boys feed regular and without wasting feed which you can do without spending much time by noticing how things look as you pass along by them weather they eat it all up clean or if they are hungry. About buying you out I cant make you any better offer than I did before except you want that prairie land to live on but if you want it to trade on it is worth more to me than you could trade or sell if for. If you want to go there to live I will give you 15 80 acres of that prairie and my two horse wagon and $250, or if you dont want the wagon I will give $300, That is letting you have the land a $2.50 per acre which is less than I would take under any other circumstances.

Title A name given to the resource Remarks by President Trump at the Memorial Day Ceremony, Baltimore, Maryland Description An account of the resource Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine Baltimore, Maryland 12:03 P.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: I stand before you at this noble fortress of American liberty to pay tribute to the immortal souls who fought and died to keep us free. Earlier today, the First Lady and I laid a wreath in their sacred honor at Arlington National Cemetery. Now we come together to salute the flag they gave their lives to so boldly and brilliantly defend. And we pledge, in their cherished memories, that this majestic flag will proudly fly forever. We’re joined for today’s ceremony by Secretary of Defense Mark Esper; Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt; the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley; Congressman Andy Harris; and a number of service members and veterans of the Armed Forces. The dignity, daring, and devotion of the American military is unrivaled anywhere in history and any place in the world. In recent months, our nation and the world have been engaged in a new form of battle against an invisible enemy. Once more, the men and women of the United States military have answered the call to duty and raced into danger. Tens of thousands of service members and National Guardsmen are on the frontlines of our war against this terrible virus — caring for patients, delivering critical supplies, and working night and day to safeguard our citizens. As one nation, we mourn alongside every single family that has lost loved ones, including the families of our great veterans. Together, we will vanquish the virus, and America will rise from this crisis to new and even greater heights. As our brave warriors have shown us from our nation’s earliest days: In America, we are the captains of our own fate. No obstacle, no challenge, and no threat is a match for the sheer determination of the American people. This towering spirit permeates every inch of the hallowed soil beneath our feet. In this place, more than 200 years ago, American patriots stood their ground and repelled a British invasion in the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812. Early on a September morning in 1814, the British fleet launched an assault on this peninsula. From the harbor, some 30 British warships attacked this stronghold. Rockets rained down. Bombs burst in the air. In the deck of one ship, a gallant young American was held captive. His name was Francis Scott Key. For 25 hours, Key watched in dismay as fire crashed down upon this ground. But through torrents of rain and smoke and the din of battle, Key could make out 15 broad stripes and 15 bright stars — barraged and battered, but still there. American forces did not waver. They did not retreat. They stared down the invasion and the held that they had to endure. The fact is, they held like nobody could have held before. They held this fort. The British retreated. Independence was saved. Francis Scott Key was so inspired by the sight of our flag in the battle waged that the very grounds that he fought on became hallowed and he wrote a poem. His ageless words became the anthem of our nation: “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Every time we sing our anthem, every time its rousing chorus swells our hearts with pride, we renew the eternal bonds of loyalty to our fallen heroes. We think of the soldiers who spent their final heroic moments on distant battlefields to keep us safe at home. We remember the young Americans who never got the chance to grow old but whose legacy will outlive us all. In every generation, these intrepid souls kissed goodbye to their families and loved ones. They took flight in planes, set sail in ships, and marched into battle with our flag, fighting for our country, defending our people. When the cause of liberty was in jeopardy, American warriors carried that flag through ice and snow to victory at Trenton. They hoisted it up the masts of great battleships in Manila Bay. They fought through hell to raise it high atop a remote island in the Pacific Ocean called Iwo Jima. From the Philippine Sea to Fallujah, from New Orleans to Normandy, from Saratoga to Saipan, from the Battle of Baltimore to the Battle of the Bulge, Americans gave their lives to carry that flag through piercing waves, blazing fires, sweltering deserts, and storms of bullets and shrapnel. They climbed atop enemy tanks, jumped out of burning airplanes, and leapt on live grenades. Their love was boundless. Their devotion was without limit. Their courage was beyond measure. Army Green Beret Captain Daniel Eggers grew up in Cape Coral, Florida, determined to continue his family’s tradition of military service — and it was a great tradition. He attended the legendary Citadel Military College in South Carolina. Soon, he met a beautiful cadet, Rebecca. They fell in love, married, and had two sons. In 2004, Daniel left for his second deployment in Afghanistan. On the morning of May 29th, Daniel and his team were courageously pursuing a group of deadly terrorists when he was killed by an improvised explosive device. This week is the 16th anniversary of the day that Daniel made the supreme sacrifice for our nation. He laid down his life to defeat evil and to save his fellow citizens. At the time of his death, Daniel’s sons Billy and John were three and five years old. Today, they have followed in Daniel’s footsteps — both students at the Citadel planning to serve in the military. Their amazing mom Rebecca has now served more than 23 years in the U.S. Army. Everywhere she goes, she wears Daniel’s Gold Star pin on the lapel of her uniform. Colonel Rebecca Eggers and her two sons are here today, along with Daniel’s father Bill and mother Margo. To the entire Eggers family: Your sacrifice is beyond our ability to comprehend or repay. Today, we honor Daniel’s incredible life and exceptional valor, and we promise you that we will cherish his blessed memory forever. Thank you very much for being here. Thank you very much. (Applause.) Please. Thank you. Thank you. Great family. Thank you very much. To every Gold Star family here today and all across our land: Our debt to you is infinite and everlasting. We stand with you today and all days to come, remembering and grieving for America’s greatest heroes. In spirit and strength, in loyalty and love, in character and courage, they were larger than life itself. They were angels sent from above, and they are now rejoined with God in the glorious Kingdom of Heaven. Wherever the Stars and Stripes fly — at our schools, our churches, town halls, firehouses, and national monuments — it is made possible because there are extraordinary Americans who are willing to brave death so that we can live in freedom and live in peace. In the two centuries since Francis Scott Key wrote about the stirring sight of our flag in battle, countless other American patriots have given their own testimony about the meaning of the flag. One was World War Two veteran Jim Krebs from Sunbury, Ohio. Jim and his twin brother Jack fought side by side in General Patton’s Third Army. At the Battle of the Bulge, the twins volunteered for a dangerous mission. Together, they took out four enemy tanks, two machine gun nests, and a mothar [sic] position that was very powerful, loaded up with mortars. Jim’s brother Jack was mortally wounded. Jim held his dying brother in his arms, praying together as his twin passed away. Jim fought to victory and came home to build a great American life. He married, had children, became an electrical engineer, and taught young people about war. As an old man, Jim was asked what about the American flag and what it meant to him. Jim said, “The flag to me is as precious as the freedom that the flag stands for. It’s as precious to me as the thousands of lives that have been lost defending her. It’s that important to me; it gave me a value of life that I could have never gotten any other way. It gave me a value of my Lord, my family, my friends, loved ones, and especially my country. What more could I ask?” Last month, Jim died peacefully at his home at the age of 94. This afternoon, we are greatly honored to be joined by his grandsons, Andy and Ron. Please, thank you very much. Thank you very much. (Applause.) Thank you very much for being here. Today, as we remember the sacrifice of Jim’s brother Jack, we honor Jim’s service, and we are moved by his beautiful words. Andy and Ron, thank you for being here to remember your grandfather and his brother, and what they did for us all, and most importantly, what they stood for. From generation to generation, heroes like these have poured out their blood and sweat and heart and tears for our country. Because of them, America is strong and safe and mighty and free. Because of them, two centuries on, the Star Spangled Banner still proudly waves. For as long as our flag flies in the sky above, the names of these fallen warriors will be woven into its threads. For as long as we have citizens willing to follow their example, to carry on their burden, to continue their legacy, then America’s cause will never fail and American freedom will never, ever die. Today, we honor the heroes we have lost. We pray for the loved ones they left behind. And with God as our witness, we solemnly vow to protect, preserve, and cherish this land they gave their last breath to defend and to defend so proudly. Thank you. God bless our military. God bless the memory of the fallen. God bless our Gold Star families. And God bless America. Thank you very much. (Applause.) END 12:16 P.M.

Bricker's Adjusted Compensation Form (2) Description An account of the resource INFORMATION CONCERNING SETTLEMENT OF ADJUSTED-SERVICE CERTIFICATE 1. If no loan is outstanding against the adjusted-service certificate it should be forwarded with the application to the Regional Office or Veterans Administration Facility conducting Regional Office activities nearest the applicant's home. Facilities at which Regional Office activities are not conducted are not authorized to make these settlements. 2. If a loan was obtained from a bank but has not been redeemed by the Veterans Administration the application will be executed and forwarded to the Veterans Administration, Arlington Building , Washington, D. C. 3. If a veteran obtained a loan from the Veterans Administration he was furnished a pink slip (Form 1184-c). The same would be true if a loan was obtained from a bank and redeemed by the Veteran Administration except that the form would be numbered 1186-a. In such a case if either form is in the possession of the veteran it should be attached securely to the applica- tion when submitted. 4. The name and address to which you desire the proceeds of your certificate mailed should be printed or typed in the space provided therefor on the face of this application to avoid any mistake in name or address. The Post Office Department will not accept mail unless addressed to an individual at an established post-office address. Therefore, in giving the post office to which settlement is to be mailed, care should be exercised to give the name of place or post office correctly. 5. It is important that the information required in the application be furnished in order to insure positive identification. 6. IDENTIFICATION. ---Before settlement is made on an adjusted-service certificate the person applying therefor will be identified as the person entitled to the settlement for which an application is made. If in the United States or possessions certification will be accepted if made by a United States postmaster or assistant postmaster over an impression of the post-office cancellation stamp; a commissioned officer of the regular establishment of the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps; a member of the United States Senate or the House of Representatives, an officer, over his official title, of a post, chapter, or other comparable unit of organization under Veterans Regulation No. 10, or an officer over his official title, of the State or national body of such organization, or any person who is legally authorized to administer oaths in a State, Territory, possession, District of Columbia, or in a Federal judicial district, of the United States. If the identification is made in a foreign country, it will be to administer oaths under the laws of the place where identification is made; provided there be attached to the certificate of such latter officer a proper certification by an accredited official of the State Department of the United States that such officer was authorized to administer oaths in the place where certification was made. 7. In the rectangle set-off on the left side of the application blank, the applicant will make his ( her ) fingerprints. The fingerprint impression of the four fingers of the right hand are to be made all at the same time after the fingers have been inked with black printer's ink, or by using a stamp pad. If possible use printer's ink. It is necessary that the ridges in the print be clear and distinct; otherwise the application will have to returned to you for better fingerprint impressions. In case any or all of the fingers of right hand are gone, take impression of the fingers of the left hand, stating under the fingerprints that is the left hand instead on the right. In the case of veterans who are mentally incapacitated and application is being executed by a representative of the veteran, the veteran's fingerprints will be obtained if possible. If this cannot be done, as also in the case of an individual whose fingers are all missing, make a statement to that effect in the space provided for the fingerprints. 8. After making out your application, go back over it and check each item so as to be sure you have omitted nothing, and that each item is properly filled out. It will be especially noted that the application must be signed and fingerprints made in the presence of the certifying person certifying as the identity of the veteran. Charlie C.
