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.
Every year we remember before God, and commend to his sure keeping those who have died for their country in war, those whom we knew and whose memory we treasure and all who have lived and die in the service of mankind.
