It's Latin - pro patria mori -- to die for [one's] country.
The phrase "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" was originally used in the Roman poet Horace's Ode 3.2.13. It's a rather Roman thought, really. But read Wilfred Owen's poem about World War I called "dulce et decorum est", which is a very bitter poem about the harsh realities of war. It's a classic.

Latin saying (taken from an ode by Horace). The words were widely understood and often quoted at the start of the First World War. The full saying ends the poem: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - it is sweet and right to die for your country. In other words, it is a wonderful and great honour to fight and die for your country
