"The soldiers in the gondola cars, under the same stars, racing through the same fields, breathing the same scented air, were included in the pact. They too were promised redemption, love, and a ride out." —Mark Helprin, "A Soldier of the Great War"
It is foolish but natural to mourn that such men have died, for all men die, be they ever so base or bold; we should rather thank God, that such men have lived, remember them to ourselves and to almighty God, praying for their eternal blessed repose and joy, and above all hope, hope that such men are born among us again, until we all meet again on that day of wrath, and all is revealed.
