Inscription on the monument to the dead of the Confederate States Army, Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, D.C

Not for fame or reward,
Not for place or for rank,
Not lured by ambition,
Or goaded by necessity,
But in Simple
Obedience to Duty
As they understood it,
These men suffered all,
Sacrificed all,
Dared all--and died.
