Caption: Welcome Home
Additional Description: Welcome home to proud men and women
We begin now to fulfill promises
To remember the past
To look to the future

We begin now to complete the final process
Not to make political statements
Not to offer explanations
Not to debate realities

Monuments are erected so that the future might remember the past
Warriors die and live and die
Let the Historians answer the political questions
Those who served - served
Those who gave all - live in our hearts
Those who are left - continue to give
As long as we remember -
There is still some love left.
