Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives … You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.  Therefore rest in peace…   You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
