We celebrate the boys who left to serve us;
Honor those who rescued us from harm;
And these of highest regard preserved us;
The real heroes held us in their arms..

 

Brave, all the fathers before us,
Stood with mothers who bore us;
By vocation, adored us;
GENERATIONS OF LOVE. 

 

The heroes of our past are out of favor;
Fame and fortune leading them away;
And yet the ones who commit stand braver;
Sworn to give their sons a better day..

 

All of them gallant, 
Employing their talent,  
Investing their treasure for young lives; 
Family hero,
Expecting back zero,
Blazing a trail for the road ahead. 

 

While armies of self-interest march to madness,
And scores of valued soldiers near the cliffs;
The valiant who give up their lives with gladness
Leave the future's greatest rank of gifts. 

 

Hail!  All the fathers before us;
Stood with mothers who bore us;
By vocation, adored us; 

GENERATIONS OF LOVE.
