Editor's Note: In observance of Veterans Day, PennLive will annually reprint "Dulce et Decorum Est," by the English poet Wilfred Owen. It's still the single, strongest reminder of the folly of war ...

The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori. The work is one of two of Owen's original manuscripts on show, the other being The Letter, which is written in the form of a letter home.
