Throughout the ages men have died
For causes great and small.
They've fought in places far and wide
Because their country called.
How could I ever forget?
They fought to make my country free
So many years ago.
Since then they've fought for you and me
Against our every foe.
How could I ever forget?
They've shed their blood in every land
So I'd have liberty.
And now in freedom I can stand,
Though freedom wasn't free.
I will never forget.
