Tribute to all of our Veterans

Remember us, a phrase every soldier holds deep within yet rarely utters out loud
for pride and honor hold bound the tongue of all who serve us and the freedom we cherish
Strong and brave, wearing the uniform and taking on the ugliness of the oncoming enemy
no words of remembrance were said, only the cries of fighting and dying men
fighting gallantly, sacrificing every ounce of their strength in toil towards victory
a victory which buys us a chance and making things right and living blessed lives
Remember us, clearly heard at every memorial ever made to honor the dead and their sacrifices
to the brave and strong we hold ourselves at a measure, for theirs is a more honest standard
one that was not corrupted by the politics of a society gone awry but an ideal in which we strive
these men are the symbols of that goal, a thing to be boasted of and hold accountable our words
let the cannons and gunpowder be heard, felt, smelt as though it were here among us
in a battlefield of our lives were we would fight for our own protectors, those soldiers
whose sweat and blood, by the thousands and hundreds of thousand We Remember
