For the Fallen: For Those Who Return Not As They Left

In Flanders Fields
by LTC John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

To make things clear. We lost 2 great soldiers on the 18 of April. Nothing will bring them back. Only the good times can be remembered. Rest in peace my brothers in arms.

The other is not public. I didn't feel I could mention it.

Horatius

"Then out spoke brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate,
'To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late;
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods?

- Thomas Babington Macaulay
