Air-Force.ca's Fallen Comrades

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

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings,
which thinks that nothing is worth war, is much worse.
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing, which is more important than his own personal safety,
is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless
made and kept so by the exertions of better men than him.

- John Stewart Mill (1806-1873)
