Heroes will grow old, and people will always remember the great achievements of heroes in their time, but they will gradually forget them when they get old.

"Veterans don't die, just fade away" is a famous speech entitled "Veterans don't die" delivered by MacArthur at the Capitol on April 195 19, 2009. It represents the last swan song of the veteran. It has also become the * * * of veterans all over the world. No matter which country's veterans are, they will be deeply impressed when they hear this infectious word.

This is the cry of a veteran, like a lonely wild goose, and like a lonely wild wolf hanging down from the grassland.

Veterans like loneliness and silence, because they have witnessed too many guns roaring, bleeding, sad and bloody. Besides life and death, what sufferings can shake the veterans' faith.

"Veterans never die, they just fade away" (veterans never die, they just fade away)

This sentence comes from a poem during the First World War. MacArthur gave lectures to the young students of West Point Military Academy on this topic, hoping that they could inherit the glorious tradition of their ancestors-veterans retired, but the spirit of veterans would be passed on to young people. Veterans, including MacArthur himself, are proud of watching the young people who shed blood, sweat and tears for their duty, honor and country.
