Remember the imprint they have left on our hearts...

REMEMBER

The tears of a Soldier are falling tonight;

a strong man so brave still trembles in fright.

The wish of a Soldier lights up a star,To be with the ones he loves back

where they are.But duty calls, and he knows, so he

stands faithfully,Putting his life on the line for his

country, for freedom, for you and me.Oh, a million prayers go up tonight,God grant comfort, wisdom, might,

And calm the soldier whose tears are falling tonight.
