Forever Known

Fighting and sacrificing,
They braved the worst.
Tired and hungry,
They struggled on.
Thinking of loved ones back home, 
They kept going.
And finally, after a long time of war,
They limp home, exhausted and relieved.
Some are wounded, some are okay.
But those brave ones, our beloved soldiers,
Come home from a place far away.
Into the open arms of their family.
They are welcomed and honored,
And will be forever known
As a hero.
