“Your note of the first instance which does me such honor has been received; for it please accept my thanks. Having been reared with a profound love and reverence for our country and her institutions, increased by an education to the profession of arms bestowed upon me by herself, it has ever been a labor of love as well as a solemn duty to render to her my best, most earnest and untiring services. If those services have in any degree contributed to the successful prosecution of this war against treason to her, I am more than repaid by having my name held in remembrance by my fellow citizens. William D. Whipple, Brigadier General and Chief of Staff.” A moving, patrioic statement by a man whose heroic exploits were well known to his contemporaries.
