Ultimate Sacrifice

Young and excited, they enlisted to fight for their country
Innocent and unaware of the horrifying dangers ahead
Anxious, brave soldiers filled with pride and mateship
Then suddenly, their whole lives changed forever...
Exploding bombs, firing guns, bloodshed and agony
Mates lying painfully injured and dying all around them
Exhausted, dirty, confused and shattered
Shocking experiences of terror and despair we could never imagine
Misery, sadness, tears and longing for home
Though not all were lucky enough to return
Far too many precious lives were wasted in futile war
Their courage deserved more than just medals
We should never forget the sacrifices they made
So we can enjoy freedom today!
