You stand between us and them,
Building an impenetrable wall of defense,
Giving us a reason to live a life without fear
That our safety and independence are in jeopardy.
You are unforgotten.

You embody the words: life, liberty, and happiness
Perfectly and you never let those words disappear.
Your life is dedicated to defend what makes us…us.
You are doing this because you decided to do it
And you are happy doing it and therefore,
You are unforgotten.

You come home with wounds we can see,
But you suffer from one we cannot
That is affecting everyone around you,
Even your wife, husband, and child,
But you continue living life with a smile
And your head held high because you stood
For our freedom and happiness and for that
You are unforgotten.

You are a brother, a sister, a mother, a father.
You are a wife, a husband, an uncle, an aunt.
You are my friend and his friend her friend.
You are our Guardian Angel.
You give us the strength to live life and to enjoy it.
You are unforgotten.

You are unforgotten.
You will always be with us.
You will always be in our thoughts.
You will always be in our prayers.
You will always be unforgotten.
This is dedicated to the brave men and women of our military of the past, present, and future. Thank you for what you do. You are unforgotten.
