Deep in the trenches he stood with pride,

Defending what was his and everyone’s,

Brave and ready to take what comes his way,

This was no child’s play,

It was a war that he had to fight,

With enemies at his sight,

A matter of life and death,

His heart sank seeing those injured or dead,

A photo of his family by his side,

He fought bravely till the end,

Saved many lives,

He is a hero that we salute,

He is the reason that we all now survive….
