One More, One Less

To all the brave women and men who have served their country For those who were forced and for those who enrolled in this controversy To those who have shown, in the face of war, great bravery All those valiant soldiers who stood up and fought for their friends and family For those who were pushed in when they wanted to get out To those who went in despite their deepest doubt To the ones who struggled in the blood The ones who lived amongst the guns and mud For the soldiers who died in the fields with no name Those who left without any shame For the noble soldiers with no regrets and no fame Soldiers you can not even think to blame To those who gave up their lives for others To the loved daughters, wives and mothers To the lost soldiers, husbands and fathers This is for all those who have experienced a loss For those who have to pay the cost 'One more, one less, who will remember?' Questions a grieving mother “I will never forget, I will remember. Their bravery, their spirit, there soul will remain forever” To my unknown heroes
