He was Discovered on Broadway
New York City holds a ceremony in November of '61,
for the 56th New York Volunteer Infantry has just begun.
Receiving their regimental banner; then a march down the street,
while parading on Broadway, a "new soldier" they will meet.
Thousands of people are cheering - with encouragement they shout,
as this Company is walking by, a "little trooper" wanders out.
A soldier from the Company - picks the little fellow up,
and soon he'll be in Washington, this spotted little pup.
He becomes a favorite, a special friend indeed,
when battles came he was there, from duty he'd not recede.
One day he met a bullet and was wounded in his hip,
but other than his howling; he would never quit.
In camp he lived with the ups-and-downs, always loyal to his men,
he was eager and ready for duty, serving again and again.
This puppy found on Broadway, discovered a bigger stage,
faithful service with the 56th, and living to die of old age.
1. What is the my name?
2. What Company became his home?
3. During what battle did he get wounded in the hip?

Christmas bonus:
What building is across the street from 516 10th St. NW in Washington, DC?

- but on the off chance that you might have been asking for the name of the pup, it was Jack.
