"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!
