How do we remember what they’ve done?
Do we mourn when they are all gone?
Men of gallantry and courage
Going to war, crossing the bridge
Do we appreciate their action?
They go there so our lives brighten
Their sacrifices for us brethren
When they come back from the carnage
How do we remember them?
They fight with their guns and cannon
Some still boys and girls in action
Couldn’t imagine shocking image
For peace, saving all the village
Against all enemies so they’d won
How do we remember them?*

I really like the repetition – reminds me of “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” Well done.
