Retired Major General Arthur MacArthur (father of General Douglas MacArthur) stood before the 60 surviving members of his old Civil War unit, the 24th Wisconsin Infantry. On the wall behind him was a special flag. Aged and battle torn, it was the original battle-flag of the 24th Wisconsin. Almost 50 years earlier as a young Union Lieutenant, MacArthur had valiantly carried that flag up Missionary Ridge. For his heroism that day he had been awarded the Medal of Honor. On this night as he stood before his comrades, Arthur MacArthur was to give the keynote address. He stood, spoke three words, and collapsed to the floor. With what remained of his fellow soldiers gathered around him, Arthur MacArthur drew his last breath, then died. Edwin Parsons, the adjutant for the veterans in the group, looked up from the body of MacArthur to the flag, stood to his feet, and as the minutes of that meeting recorded, "took from the wall the battle-torn flag he (MacArthur) had so gallantly carried, and wrapped it around MacArthur."
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the hills, from the lake,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.
Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,
May the soldier or sailor,
God keep.
On the land or the deep,
Safe in sleep.
Love, good night, Must thou go,
When the day, And the night
Need thee so?
All is well. Speedeth all
To their rest.
Fades the light; And afar
Goeth day, And the stars
Shineth bright,
Fare thee well; Day has gone,
Night is on.
Thanks and praise, For our days,
'Neath the sun, Neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As we go, This we know,
God is nigh.
