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.
Lest We Forget.
The sacrifices made by our forefathers are why I’m (and you) are able to be here – today – reading this very report. Lest We Forget.
