1. Who are these men? Who march so proud Who quietly weep Eyes closed, heads bowed? These are the men Who once were boys Who missed out on youth And all its joys. 2. Who are these men? With aged faces Who silently count The empty spaces? These are the men Who gave their all Who fought for country For freedom for all. 3. Who are these men? With sorrowful looks Who still can remember The lives that were took. These are the men Who saw young men die The price of peace Is always high. 4. These are the men Who in the midst of pain Whispered comfort to those They would not see again. These are the men Whose hands held tomorrow Who brought back our future With blood, tears and sorrow. 5. Who are these men? Who promise to keep Alive in their hearts The ones God holds asleep? These are the men To whom I promise again Veterans, my friends, I WILL REMEMBER THEM!
