Echoes of valor

The Great War has come and gone.
The soldiers, lost forevermore,
Their lives, they gave for us,
To fight and shed their blood in battle's roar;

Though their lives are gone, their memory lives on,
In the hearts of those who fought and mourn
They gave up everything to save our land,
Our eternal gratitude is all they deserve.

We lay wreaths with great respect
On each soldier's final resting place.
They gave their all to save us
And their courage shall never be erased.

The stories they told, their sacrifices we share,
They fought for a future without fear,
Their bravery and heroism live on in our land
So their memory shall never be erased.

From foreign lands, so far away.
Soldiers came to fight for our peace
Their love and courage, they gave so we could stay
A debt we shall never repay.

Their service shall never be forgotten,
And their legacy lives on in love and thanks,
Their sacrifice shall always be remembered
For they died for freedom's cause.
