drawing them to you every day...
You honor their service, their memory,
holding them so closely, as close as breath...
Because of all of you
They live though they have fallen...
Though they have been taken from you...
Because of all of you, They live...
Their memory is not forgotten...
You hold each of them closely,
They are with you, as close as breath...
They live though they have fallen...
Though they have been taken from you...
Because of all of you, They live...

“Хвилина памʼяті
згадувала братів за якими дуже сумую
кожен день 9:00 честь”
“A moment of remembrance
remembered the brothers I miss so much
every day 9:00 honor.”
