For over a decade the names and faces of the "343" slain members of F.D.N.Y. have remained visible to those who enter our humble quarters: That We May Not Forget. "...Straight of limb, true of eyes, 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: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. They mingle not with their laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables of home; They have no lot in our labour of the day-time..." -excerpt from "For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon, 1914
