They left in numbers
Too great to recall,
Fighting for freedom
And peace for us all.

Many were young,
And most were afraid,
And all of them knew,
The fate that they faced.

And yet they still fought,
Never gave up,
To protect the world
And all that they loved.

We will remember,
We will persevere,
Keeping close
What they fought for,
For all those years.

We shall move forward,
We shall stand tall,
We shall remember,
Those who were torn.

With the hope of tomorrow,
We will conquered our fears,
Facing our lives,
Even when they seem hard to bear

We will remember,
We will live on,
Striving for freedom,
And peace for us all.
Dedicated to all those who have served their country. Whether you made it home or are lying on the plains of foreign soil. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
