The most famous excerpt from For The Fallen:

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

[Steamtrains]

Well said.....

'The true Soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because He loves what is behind him.' - G. K. Chesterton

For those who wore the uniform, and to those who still do - thank you.

It's an honor to serve with you.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

I weep not for the fallen, for they have given the last measure of themselves in defense of something, equal in value to life itself. Liberty.
I weep for those who do not serve, for they will soon forget the value of freedom, and the sacrifice of the fallen will have been in vain.
I will gladly shed tears of joy for those who honor the fallen by carrying on the tradition of defending freedom.
Rest now, my brothers-in-arms, your task is done. Those of us who remain, will keep the memory of your valor fresh, and sacred.
