praise God Almighty that we have been blessed with Heroes such as these

I was thinking the same thing. At times like these, we find our real heroes. The men who give their lives and the men who leap into the gap to take their places. America needs more John Moran's.

Our nation's treasure: their last full measure
With full devotion poured.

Thanks AP. This starts the tears flowing again.

And thanks for taking time to research so much. It helps us to know and love BC John Moran. Loved his protest sign too. This is one of the most touching threads - the true essence of our American heros. It tears apart one's heart.
