Fallen Soldier

Ternic73

We remember those who gave their lives

Fought hard in battles so others survived

Our Fallen soldiers we will never forget

Sacrificed themselves with no regret

They gave us our freedom, speech and choice

Without them, freedom would have no voice

A moment of silence on Veterans day

We close our eyes, say thank you and pray

Touch their names on the wall

Weep in silence as tears fall

Families proud of the sacrifices they made

Remember fallen soldiers and the price they paid

Laying wreathes and flowers at their graves

Proud of all the lives saved

Our fallen soldiers we never forget
