They shall grow not old,

[Retired W4]

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.
-Robert Laurence Binyon

I think this needs a bump.

Always remember.

Remember them, all.
