Upon Their Broken Shoulders
Through their unselfishness
They fight for our rights
Never giving up
Enduring the darkest of nights
As they continue to fight
We angrily protest
Yet still they fight on
Never asking for rest
They struggle to live on
While we safely sit here
They die to protect us
Giving us no reason to fear
They fight out of love
For us and our country
They ask for nothing back
Fighting for us to remain free
Never do we remember
As today turns into tomorrow
What they have provided us
Only thinking of our sorrow
These guardians are our heroes
They die in their ranks
Yet never do we give them
A well-deserved thanks
Always remember the men and women
Who are known as our soldiers
For giving us a foundation
Upon their broken shoulders
