We remember
what they have done
serving in our place
going where we
would not choose to go
giving their lives
that we would remain free
our world a safer place
that evil would be checked
They have left a legacy
of love for us all
In their sacrifice
we have so much
to be thankful
Because we are blessed
by their courage
and their loyalty
We must remember them
and honor their place
in our nation’s story
