AN OPEN LETTER This is an appeal to all red-blooded American people of Cape Msy City and to all those who make their home wijh us during the summer season. By and through the efforts of the Progressive League of our City, they have created a Committee of Business Men to raise the necessary funds for the especial purpose of erecting a Memorial Monument to commemorate the deeds of our brave boys who left their homes in defense of their country, of those in the Civil War, Spanish- American' War and the World War, the sons and grandsons. They gave heroic service to oar country in its hour of need and a lasting example of patriotism to the world. They made the Declaration of Independence mean Vhmt It says, that all men are , created equal before the law. The American soldier has never known defeat, and his deeds of valor and heroism have become classic in history and song. Back of us stands the glorious history of a free people, and in front of us on the one hand is a continuation of those principles and blessings for which our forefathers fought, and the extension of human liberty, justice and equality. Therefore, it has been resolved that this committee put forth every effort to purchase and erect an everlasting stone monument to commemorate and perpetuate the deeds of the young men of this town, that posterity may know what they have performed in j the cause of human rights and for the inspiration of the coming generationContributions will be gratefully received by any member of the committee.
