Everyone has one, of course they do
But these few particularly stood out
The test of time – a lifetime perhaps, pushed to the very limit
Everyone wanted to win it, course they did
Taken away from their families in the blink of a courageous eye
Rifles at the ready, oh so very steady
Heady albeit lonely dreams of rather distant bringings
Gunned down, entirely sounded out
Mighty honour for one country, and now you get to see it in the peeled faces of their family
