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.


We will remember them.

"And when he gets to Heaven,
To Saint Peter he will tell:
'One more soldier reporting, Sir-
I've served my time in Hell'".

So they gave their bodies to the commonwealth, and received, each for his own memory,
Praise that will never die, and with it the grandest of all sepulchers—not that in which their mortal bones are laid,
But a home in the minds of men with their glory, that remains fresh to stir it to speech or action as occasion comes by.

For the whole earth is a sepulcher of famous men, and their story is not graven only on stone over their native earth, but it lives on far away,
Without visible symbol, woven into the stuff of other men's lives.


For you, now it remains to rival what they have done, and know the secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom is a brave heart.


Pericles, 2,500 years ago
