For those that gave the ultimate sacrifice
The ones who left their families and friends
The men and women who fought for our freedoms
Today we celebrate your life taken to soon
We mourn with those who miss you
We thank you for keeping us safe at home
We will leave an empty chair and have a toast
For all you gave we will always remember

Remembers day.
Sacrifice can be selfish or sacred . Our soldiers , certainly not selfish , certainly sacred . We march a soft parade in remembrance .
I agree. War is a waste of a life. But most of us are not in control. All we can do is follow orders and try to do best for our families. Make it so they don't have to go through war as best we can.
"We will remember them"
