You sprint up a beach
to fight a fight.
Forget about life,
and do what is right.
Protect your brother
for our nation.
Help one another,
and die for each other.
You stand on the front lines,
holding a gun.
To serve your country,
who stands as one.
Not for revenge,
but to avenge.
You are all so brave.
Thank you, veterans.
