For you who served So others might live. Some of you gave All you had to give. We lost some of you And it broke our hearts But, live or die you all Stood up to do your part.
For those of you who served When some could not go You overcame obstacles That we will never know. But because you stood And fought against villainy You have an honored place In our countryโs history.
No stones can be stacked High enough to balance The mothers who lost Their children in battles And no speeches made Can ever appropriately say What your sacrifice has meant To every one of us today.
