The Veterans
Draw strength, draw strength from those who died
Make peace with those who lived
For in our memories all survive
Their deeds their times outlive
For peace they went, for peace they fought
Though some would not return
Yet with courageous deeds they taught
That freedom must be earned
Now we in peace and freedom dwell
This heaven they bequeath
To those who challenged death and fell
We dedicate our wreath
And though with passing years it seems
Their legacy might fail
Yet in our blood and in our dreams
Their souls are marching still
