Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

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



I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

- Abraham Lincoln
