At a celebration in Syracuse, July 5, 1824, thirty Revolutionary soldiers were present, walking in the procession. The Syracuse Gazette said: "It was a truly interesting sight to see among our fellow citizens who participated in the festivities of this day, about thirty of the remnant of that gallant band of patriots who fought in the Revolution. These spared
monuments of our country's boast honored the company with their presence throughout the day, giving a zest to the festivities rarely to be found in common celebrations of this Member of the Valley Presbyterian Church at time of organization March 20, 1810 national anniversary."
The veterans thus expressed their pleasure:-
To Col. Amos P. Granger, ancl through him to the Committee
of Arrangements:
At the request of those soldiers of the revolution present
at this day's celebration, the undersigned take this occasion
to express their gratitude for the polite and generous attention shown them on this interesting occasion. To us who are
now tottering on the down hill of life, whose now feeble
limbs were once strong in our country's cause, who went
forth to perish or gain that liberty we this day enjoy; the
satisfaction of a cheerful welcome, responded by our
children and our children's children, cannot fail to reach
our hearts and inspire us with respectful gratitude. In
you we witness that republican spirit which actuated us in
times past, and sustained us in the dreadful conflict, and
now holds the world in awe. In the height of your prosperity you were not unmindful of us,
a small remnant of the army of the revolution, but conferred on us the honor of
leading you to the festive board, under the banners of our
hard earned independence. Gentlemen, accept our thanks,
and may the God of mercy lengthen your days, strengthen
your hands and unite your hearts, in patriotic devotion to
the honor and welfare of our beloved country.

more but rode in carriages.
