Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

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



It is my earnest hope - indeed the hope of all mankind - that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past, a world found upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance and justice.

- General Douglas Macarthur, Supreme Allied Commander of South-West Pacific (1945)
