token of services rendered.
Those of your number who through the call of
duty or other circumstances, could not be present here,
We have ordered that they receive their medals in the
same spirit as if they were in Our presence. Your steadfastness

Loyalty being as praiseworthy as it is, you should strive
to maintain it as a principle."
