“They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not wear them
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We shall remember them.”
Comrades, we salute you!
The memories of the sacrifices you have made shall be the guiding lights for us to steer ourselves by!
