Grover Cleveland actually said...

"I am of the opinion that, considering the cause of death and all the facts and circumstances surrounding this case, the certificate of discharge which the soldier himself procured to be made out shoul..."

"I can not upon the facts of this case arrive at a conclusion different from the Pension Bureau."

"The cause of rejection is stated to be 'that the death cause (sunstroke) was not the result of the soldier's military service.'"

"it seems quite clear to me that it would be extending the pension theory to an unwarrantable limit to hold the Government responsible for such an accident."
