To you I salute
To you I honor
Vigorous, bravery
So visceral
Take the stand
Lead, lead the way
Without looking back
Images of
The loved ones in their mind
Although,
With bloated hearts
Stand by the oath
Unknowing
If there would ever be
A home coming,
Or see a next daylight
March, march to defend
Serve, protect,
Keep the country pride
Through smoke, dust,
Mud, scorpions, snakes
Lead, March the way
Through torrent, winds
Sleep on naked floor
camouflage into the woods
Step on their comrade's bodies-
Swim in their blood
Onwards, march
Dig into the hole
Reach, grasp
Sealed the reason
The cause is fulfilled
Rise, wave the flag
Victory proclaims
Soldiers, you're my heroes
Fallen and alive
Your acts are forever gratified
For every breath of my freedom
To you I forever salute!
To you I endlessly give honor!

This poem is dedicated to all soldiers who fought for a good cause.
May their souls of their passed rest in peace, May those who survived forever receive honor
and may you all at once be recognized for your brave hearts.
