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.
