Moms And Soldiers

The words of Julia Ward Howe, a patriot, composer of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and creator of the first Mother’s Day, reminds us that “Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and patience. We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.”
