To the editor:

"We must tell our children and our children's children the story of the heroes of every land and every time who have given their lives that liberty and fraternity and equality might survive among men."

- Governor David Marston Clough, Dedication of Hermann Monument, New Ulm, Minnesota

This is a letter to those who remember that before they were Americans, before they were Germans, they were Chatti, Cherusi, Harii, Marsi and Suebia.
