Veteran's Day / RemembranceDay
Living veterans have earned their benefits -
respect and honor them and honor our commitments to them -
now and in the future
In Memory
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.
(The Ode of Remembrance is from Laurence Binyon’s poem For the Fallen)
"When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,
For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today"
For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today"
(John Maxwell Edmonds - from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission memorial in Kohima, India)
