Army.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old



In peace nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility; but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger; stiffen the sinews, disguise fair nature with hard favored rage. . .

- William Shakespeare ("Henry V")
