Dodge describes the emotional and vivid memories of wartime experiences during gatherings.

Have you, or any one else, ever heard a single word of protest from these people or any one connected with them against the revolting cruelties of the enemy in the Philippines?
It is the duty of every companion here, as well as of every good citizen, to enter his protest against these unjust attacks.
They evidently have no desire to learn about these things, but want some excuse for attacking our Army, hoping thereby to bring dishonor upon our country before the world.
