Under Fire Still – v3

Too many of our young men,

young women, our people

Another day, remembering

all those who served, who sacrificed

those serving for us now

different, still, unresolved,

an open wound, without closure

so many still under fire

actively in harms’ way

For them especially we pray,

we remember them all

under fire, in our name

standing guard out there

in the dark places, on guard,

that we may remain free.
