You probably want "brother" bigger than "in arms", so that it equals out, and because it's more important in that expression. Furthermore, I would recommend changing the font - you probably want a faded/splattered font (DaFont - 1942 Report), to match the mood and time. I'd make it slightly smaller, and work on the lighting (the white blob in the second is...well...a blob).
As a last comment: I don't really like the pixellated shader thing you have going on in your sig, but that's just me, I take it.
