I Love the Songs of Heroes - a Repost

I love the songs of heroes Who gave their all and more In service to our country They fought and died in war. I love the songs of heroes Who came to the rescue first Battling the flames of tragedy And rushing into the worst. I love the songs of heroes Who gave all for their families Sacrificing for sons and daughters Spending time down on their knees. I love the songs of heroes In memory of the long-gone past Who strove for all that's right and good To make our freedoms last. [a repost from 2020]
