Their Sacrifice – v3

They gave their best
for our country,
for each one of us;
few of us know
the horror, the fear,
what they faced in life,
going to dark places
to keep us safe.

We cannot know,
for we have not been there;
all we can do,
what we must do,
never to forget,
always to honor,
to remember their sacrifice
which keeps us free.
