Brave they stood when they said goodbye to loved ones,
not knowing if they would return
Brave they stood when they set out to fight for peace,
and to protect our country
Brave they stood when they saw everyone around them scream in agony,
and collapse on the ground like the twin towers on 9/11
Brave they stood covered in dirt, gasping for air,
remembering all the things they accomplished,
and wishing they could be back home to see their loved ones again
Brave they stood after trying to recover from injuries, wounds, scars,
and having to deal with memories of grief and misery
Brave they stood, and they will keep standing,
because brave is what they are and what they will forever be
