Never Forget, Always Remember

Marching boots through foreign lands

A rifle heavy in their hands

Jungles thick with cries and smoke

Dreams of home

Their only hope

But when the war was finally done

No cheers

No light

No welcome sun

Never forget

Always remember

Hearts that burned through a hot December

They gave their all

We turned away

But their courage lives in us today

Spat on streets they once called home

Shadows where they stood alone

Promises broken

Letters torn

A silent pain they had to mourn

Yet through the shame

They held their ground

Heroes lost but never found

Never forget

Always remember

Hearts that burned through a hot December

They gave their all

We turned away

But their courage lives in us today
