Buried deep down in our hearts Lies a treasured call, To remember of their courage For our country to stand tall. They didn't know what lay ahead Walking into dark unknown, But, we know that they sure loved us Caring completely for their own. For those of us now left behind How can we comprehend their sacrifice, In walking away from loving homes And other plans for their lives. Their gift we can never dream to repay So our only course of action left, Is to live in humble gratitude And wisely use their precious gift. They gave us all our freedom The treasure of our faith and land, We thank them for their amazing love Of life given for their fellow man.
