A tale of two heroes
who answered freedom’s call...
Their son is his bloodline’s legacy -
Alex, brave and mighty,
born of sacred heritage,
born of noble stock...
From different worlds and countries
they came to this war, this terror,
but they fought on the same battlefields...
Choosing to stand, to defend, to fight
against the enemy of freedom,
their countries’ right to choose...
Love grew on the frontlines,
consecrated before heaven...
A child of freedom’s finest -
Alex, brave and mighty,
carrying their legacy of valor,
born of warriors’ blood...
May he grow in peace -
A just peace once and for all...
