Vincent L. Giantvalley was an American soldier from Minneapolis that gave his life in service of our country in 1918 during World War I in France.<\/p>\n

Decoration Day<\/p>\n

Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest
\nOn this Field of the Grounded Arms,
\nWhere foes no more molest,
\nNor sentry’s shot alarms!<\/p>\n

Ye have slept on the ground before,
\nAnd started to your feet
\nAt the cannon’s sudden roar,
\nOr the drum’s redoubling beat.<\/p>\n

But in this camp of Death
\nNo sound your slumber breaks;
\nHere is no fevered breath,
\nNo wound that bleeds and aches.<\/p>\n

All is repose and peace,
\nUntrampled lies the sod;
\nThe shouts of battle cease,
\nIt is the Truce of God!<\/p>\n

Rest, comrades, rest and sleep!
\nThe thoughts of men shall be
\nAs sentinels to keep
\nYour rest from danger free.<\/p>\n

Your silent tents of green
\nWe deck with fragrant flowers
\nYours has the suffering been,
\nThe memory shall be ours.<\/p>\n

— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
