"War drew us from our homeland
In the sunlit springtime of our youth.
Those who did not come back alive remain in perpetual springtime
-- forever young --
And a part of them is with us always."

"We few, we happy few,we band of brothers,for he today that sheds his blood with me,shall be my brother."        "William Shakespeare"  Henry V
" If you are able, save for them a place inside of you,
and save one backward glance when you are leaving,
for the places they can no longer go.
be not ashamed to say you loved them,
Though you may or may not have always
Take what they have taught you with their dying
and keep it with you always ,
and in that time when men decide,
and feel safe to call the War insane,
take one moment to embrace these
gentle Heroes we've left behind. "
