Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

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



We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me, Shall be my brother; be ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition. And gentlemen in England now abed, Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhood's cheap whiles any speaks, That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

- William Shakespeare ("King Henry V")
