[QUAD-L] Veteran's Day 2007

[David K. Kelmer]

Superfluous lags the veteran on the stage,
  Till pitying Nature signs the last release,
  And bids afflicted worth retire to peace.
   
  Samuel Johnson - The Tenth Satire of Juvenal Imitated (l. 308–310)
   
   
  Honor shadows the veterans on the moon-filled night, as they move ahead of 
its lighting touch; Ahead, ahead they will always move ahead toward his waiting 
reward.
