1 Alabama s Fallen Heroes in the War Against Terrorism (Since 9/11/01) Faces of the Price of Freedom LEST WE FORGET: They went with songs to do battle They were young! Straight of limb true of eye steady and aglow; They were staunch to the end - Against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe! They shall grow not old, As we, that are left grow old.
