"You Gave Yourself!"

You fought for our freedom, and you marched and battled 

for all of the rest of us, in deed

We owe you our gratitude and our all, as you gave yourselves 

for the noble cause that made you bleed

Never will we forget the eternal price you paid with your

lives, your broken bodies, and your souls

You surrendered not to enemies, but to the cause for your

 nation's democracy, and to make us whole

You watched in grief, as your fellow soldiers fell and died, in

your weary, strong, loyal fighting arms

It makes us surrender our prayers to the living and honor

 all past heroes, offering themselves to harm

The gunfire, the explosions, the screams and resounding

echoes, of dying soldiers crying out

It's a haunting of one's dreams and a torture of the mind, 

  a thing called war, a terrifying bout

But "fight on" was your brave motto, your determination,

your battle cry, and your honored creed

For you were a mighty soldier, and soldiers never quit; they

march on and they fight; they never secede

We remember your tired and aching arms, as we prayed

for your continual safety, and your success

We're so thankful for you, today, rendering all you had

for country and peoples; we cannot express

To those who gave, you are lifted up as the embodiment of

courage, with a salute and a loving wave

You're the gold standard of our land, and we're the Home 

of the Free, because of the brave!
