The Present Day Soldiers Lost in Action

 

 

                                                                                               

 

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 redouble our efforts in southern Afghanistan in their memory."
