God bless the brave that died for us unselfishly with pride,
That watched their fellow men fall down as they stood side by side.
As enemies shot from above, below and to their right,
They stood their ground and bravely fought as darkness turned to light.
They heard the battle all around, the noise of bombs and fire,
Their allies sharing ammo, food and shoulders should they tire.
God bless our heroes who stood proud amid the enemy,
To gain for all mankind our precious freedom, victory!
Bless all the families who mourn, the mothers of young men,
Grant them the strength to carry on Dear Lord, through you, Amen.
