All we have of freedom
All we use or know
This our fathers bought for us
Long and long ago” [Rudyard Kipling]

"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." [Robert Laurence Binyon]
