Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

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

The only hope you have is to accept the fact that your already dead, the sooner you accept that , the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier. To function without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends on it.

- Lt. Spears, 1944 Battle of the Bulge (Bastogne) E Coy, 101st Airborne, 506th Reg.
