my flag and your flag and our flag
had never been defeated. Return-
ing health gives one much reason
to render thanks and I thought on
further—to the day thirtoea years _____
ago when all the world went mad ford.
I have lived long snd aeon and
learned much of life, and I count
it a distinct honor that you re-

Please accept my heartfelt grati-
