I’m in the Navy and in 2008 I was attached to a Marine Battalion and we were a few days from deploying to Iraq and our SgtMaj read this poem during a formation. It’s was quite moving. I will never forget it.
So beautiful. Unfortunately today's children study neither penmanship, literature, nor history. They only learn to recite the brainwashing mantras of the regime.

A Canadian classic. I can't remember if I actually tried to memorize this or it just happened by osmosis, but it's deeply engraved.

I read and copied this poem as part of my penmanship in school as a kid.
