The right is more precious than peace we shall fight for the things we have always carried nearest to our hearts. To such a task we dedicate our lives. - Woodrow Wilson
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old I shall not weary them nor the years condemn at the good down of the Sun and in the morning we'll remember them we will remember them.
