It's a day set aside for remembering
those who before and after have went
fighting for the need of our country
wherever they might be sent.
Men and women, young and old
it mattered not you see
a highly trained military
trying to keep us free.
They have fought in strange surroundings
and many lives have been lost
now some were only wounded
but for us, still paid the cost.
One can't feel the pain or anguish
these brave men and women all went through
yet we can honor them for what they did
for the freedom of me and you,
We can hold in our hearts the memories
of the thousands that have died
yes and we pray for the many wounded
who lost comrades by their side.
Now war is never over
and a battle never won
the loss of lives will ere remain
long after the fighting's done!
