To the editor:

"We must tell our children and our children's children the story of the heroes of every land and every time who have given their lives that liberty and fraternity and equality might survive among men."

- Governor David Marston Clough, Dedication of Hermann Monument, New Ulm, Minnesota

This is a letter to those who remember that before they were Americans, before they were Germans, they were Chatti, Cherusi, Harii, Marsi and Suebia.

"The sacred spring pours out of a gash in dark limestone bedrock. A hidden, private place, it is a delicate rent in the earth, offering seventy gallons a minute, a hundred thousand gallons a day, of pure and healing water. Its sound carries across the pond into which it falls. By climbing the few feet down into it, you can stand on slippery dark rock and let the water run cold over your hands. Drink from it and it tastes cold and pure on your tongue."

This is evidenced in the fact that the site is abandoned, littered with dilapidated structures, and the soil is polluted.
