Their dear country. They had been "grasping at death" for their dear country.
Komomber! The buzzards and tho battlefield grave worms did not get tho "promincut people" who actually own this dear country. "Higher officers" cannot instil or fill a banker or a manufacturer so full of the "spirit of eagerness" that ho becomes eager t'> "grasp at death" and hare his eyeballs ripped out and his shattered body eaten by vultures.
These men aro not excited—

tho least.

These were not "grasping at death." t!ii»y were grasping for Cuba.
Cuba looked good, and you looked casv.
Those* men needed you in their business. And they got you, you Cuban War veterans.
