It’s with a humble and grateful heart that I’d like to share the poem LEST WE FORGET. May we collectively honour all past and present serving members and respectfully show our gratitude for their service and sacrifice. ♥
LEST WE FORGET
LEST WE FORGET
They answered the call
With mighty hearts, they took a stand
In the pursuit of liberty
They died on foreign land.
Those that made it home
Carry a burden within their soul
More years behind them now
Yet stories remain untold.
We may never understand it
Few hearts can comprehend
The courage one must possess
To rise and take a stand.
So I ask of you this
Dear friends and family
How will you remember
This most earnest legacy?
Will you bow your head in silence?
Offer a silent prayer?
Let’s honour all they’ve sacrificed
For the freedoms we hold dear.
