Upon distant battlefields
In lands few shall ever know
They give their all
Today as those
Who have marched before
To defend an oath
A solemn sacred promise
Written in eloquence
At the birth of us all
No simple piece of paper
So they stand
Upon the walls of ideals
For a nation
A people
A single person scared in the night
So we shall in hope
And terrible fear
Never have to know
Their sad story
Lest we ever forget
What they have given to us
And to this day
Always honor
The tears they have shed
Their tears of bravery
