In honor of all those heroes who served our country to give us freedom.  And with respect to George M. Cohan who wrote the song "Over There," let's remember these old Menasha soldiers who in 1917 answered the call to fight in World War I. 

Over there, over there,

Send the word, send the word over there

That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming

The drums rum-tumming everywhere.

So prepare, say a prayer,

Send the word, send the word to beware -

We'll be over, we're coming over,

And we won't come back till it's over, over there.
