There may be no more potent expression of our consciousness of historical tragedy than the three words "Lest We Forget."

By embracing the sentiment that these words imply, and keeping it close to our hearts, we pay homage to those who lost their lives in war and also strive to prevent the circumstances that caused that loss from ever reoccurring.

But "Lest We Forget" can also be used as a formula for bringing about those very same circumstances all over again.
