Air-Force.ca's Fallen Comrades

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

LEST WE FORGET....
Why we are here...
Thousands of young soldiers pass through here each year who will never know your name nor what you do. You may, however, take solace in the knowledge that your exhaustive efforts were never in vain. For the tremendous work you have accomplished ensures that many more of America's sons and daughters will return home safely from the horrid specters of war.

- J.F. Kennedy
