Act of Remembrance

So let us remember before God those who have died for their country in war; those whom we knew, and

whose memory we treasure; and all who have died in the service of mankind.

They shall not grow 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.1

We Will Remember Them
