The piece was inscribed over the beds in the bunk rooms of [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]]. The line ''"From [[Earth]], For Earth"'' was displayed on decorative banners across the campus, perhaps serving as the school's motto. The line ''"Honor, Valor, Allegiance"'' was referenced by CAMS' superintendent, [[General]] [[Black]], in a speech to [[Hastati Squad]] after they failed a training exercise in [[2526]]. The line ''"Today. Tomorrow. Forever"'' was featured on a mural at the school and was also referenced by Black in an [[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn: Recruitment|advertisement]] for the academy.{{Ref/Reuse|FUD}}
