Died For Freedom

by pharp

Death took the lives of many soldiers Intrepid heroes...war heavy on their shoulders Enlisted to be trained in survival and combat Disciplined...to watch fellow comrades' back Fearless they fought on unfamiliar land Overseas readiness was always the plan Redeployment of soldiers an all-time high Frontal attack where many did die Recognition... we give to these brave women and men End of mission..."death" - till they live again Embracing their sacrifice...this we must do Demonstration of peace to see us through Observance arises as we give tribute to all Memorizing the fallen on so many walls
