Honor given to the few
Who lived a time overdue
When all was shared with the brave
Men and women to country save

Each one now lives a share memory
When life was lived on a moments need
Called to move into the fray
Where life could be taken away

Held with others becoming dear
Friends to trust with life and limb
So great a time that grows bold
Now into memories to always hold

Friends have gone over the years
New ones made with shared tears
How many have given life for those now free
Many who often do not understand the deed
