American Cemetery in Normandy… Ohama Peach, Point du Hoc, Arromanches,
Le Havre
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. (The old Lie: Sweet and fitting it is to die for one’s country)
If you’re interested in reading the entire poem by Winifred Owen go to
On the Wall of the Cemetery Memorial:
YOU CAN MANUFACTURE WEAPONS
AND YOU CAN PURCHASE AMMUNITION
BUT CAN’T BUY VALOR
AND YOU CAN’T PULL HEROES OFF
AN ASSEMBLY LINE
Sergeant John B. Ellery
U.S. 1st Infantry Division
