For every soldier who
held a dying friend
in his or her arms.
For the dying friends
who gave their lives for
those that they loved.
For those they loved
who would never see
their children again.
For the children who never
really knew their parents
who gave their lives for them.
For each and every one
of them prepared to die
for what we believe.
For we should never
forget all of those who
suffered in our place.
