You are the men who will be ready to fight the Germans over the rampart of dead bodies, you will give your life for the land and liberty we love so well. You will come back to us, bringing with you the knowledge that will make for the brotherhood of man and 'golden age for which humanity waits.' May the Great God whose Providence rules the universe protect and bless you and bring you safely home again."
