We Salute You

We salute you our gallant soldiers
on your call to arms,
off to fight an enemy
whose face you may never know.
You march off to face dangers
to keep your country free.
Some will never come back
and to your homeland see.
Though you may fall
on some distant shore
you will not be forgotten
on the Roll Call.
Your valiant efforts
will be remembered
so long as we are free.
