Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.

A very powerful poem, along with the phrase 'Lest we forget'
In the UK it's known as remembrance day. Everyone wears paper poppies like this one:

Indeedy. A salute to every goodly soldier, alive and dead, to have fought in wars both long gone and in progess - "right" side or wrong. It may not be sweet and fitting, but it's most certainly brave.
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
