SubscribeWho battled dark oppression and foul tyranny
Now contend with cancer operations
Glaucoma, arthritis, asthma, and other malady.
As once they walked with heads held high
As all the people cheered their courage and unmatched humility
So now they are stooped with age, and die
Quiet now the people; our heroes lost in anonymity.
But when for a moment, a moment’s pause we find
Amid the chaos of life’s little inconvenience
May we each turn a grateful heart and mind
To those who offered their whole selves in liberty’s defense
And for them hold a moment’s reverence.
