Another man Quote by Anonymous
““He who fights on a foreign soil another man's war Not for his family or his country's honor And, when he lies dying, hit by a deadly blow From an Angry firearm But cannot say, "Oh! My beloved country Here is the life you gave me, I come back to you" Dies twice, reduced to eternal wretchedness.””
