On back…
NOT THEIRS THE RUSH OF MADDENED WRATH. THAT RECKLESS SUNDERED TIES OF BLOOD, BUT HONORS' BEACON SHOWED THE PATH WHERE DAUNTLESS DUTY STOOD. THROUGH FAMINE YEARS THE FOLLOWED FAR WHERE HER UNSWERVING BANNERS LED. BEYOND HER GLORY'S FLAME-TIPPED STAR-BEHIND HER-HONORS DEAD. THE YEARS THEIR SLOW PROCESSION KEEP, THE BANNER BARRED WITH RED IS FURLED BUT NOW ITS GRAY CLAD SOLDIERS SLEEP/THE HEROES OF A WORLD.
