We Remember

They fought hard and long

To achieve those freedoms

Fighting and killing others

That hurt their very souls

They fought to save their countries

From tyranny and evil intent

They gave up their home lives

Their families and soil

To fight for kin and country

To save the world

They gave much

Now we revere them

Remember them

Immortalize them

We shall not forget

Their sacrifice

From sun up

To sundown

Each day we remember

Their forfeit

And honour their lives
