Air-Force.ca's Fallen Comrades

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



“Nor should this be a war on property - property is desirable - it is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich and hence is a just encouragement to enterprise and industry. Let not him who is homeless pull down the house of another, but let him labour diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring his own shall be safe from violence when built”.

- Abraham Lincoln 1864
