We may not let our heroes fade with time
Lest martyrs be erased from honor's scroll
We must make sure the memories stay sublime
Of deeds that still define our nation's soul
Collectively we share the warriors' pain
And cradle fallen soldiers of all kinds
We soothe the brows of patriots again
To feel their sacrifices in our minds
So raise your glasses to the ones who gave
And let the poppies bloom upon your chest
We celebrate the courage of the brave
The chosen ones whose hearts withstood the test
Unknowns are still rememberéd this day
That's what our Decorations should convey
