They left behind family and friends
So that others could remain free
Holding back tears trying to be brave
Gave their lives for you and me
Never looking back just marched on ahead
To a place unknown filled with fear and dread
Hoping one day to return to home sweet home
To a place where their love ones dwell
Reminiscing and talking about the good old days
What went on during wartime no one wanted to tell
When darkness covered the untrodden path up ahead
Would rather be at home with loved ones instead
The casualties of war had already taken its toll
Grim stories of the dead and dying began to unfold
Lives are enriched by their unselfish gifts of love
What was taken from us was restored from up above
Our fallen angels have lost their earthly wings
Died for our freedom but has gained as heaven sings
