Twenty years ago, as we were being born, young men went forth to slaughter, Went cheerfully, and were slaughtered, Except some who were not quite killed And are the half-men now And some who came home And were no better, no wiser, no braver for the exhilarating experience of having slaughtered men.

For US, To bring into the world again Devotion.
