My native country, of the noble free. Thy name I love;I love thy rocks and woods and templed hills;My heart with rapture thrills Like that above. Let music swell the breeze,And ring from all the trees Sweet freedoms song;Let mortal tongues awake;Let all that breathe partake;Let rocks their silence bi-eak. The sound prolong. Our fathers God, to Thee,Author of liberty. To Thee we sing:Long may our land be brightWith freedoms holy light;Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King. 38. MASTER JOHN WALTER HAIR, Jr. Who drew the cord that unveiled the monument, is a son of Mr. John W. Hair, and grandson of Major John S. Hair. He was born November 16, 1908, at South Haven, Michigan.
