Here's to the loyal, brave, and true.
We are greatful for all you do.
The work you do without complain.
May the struggle not be in vain.

Here's to the soldiers far from home.
Away from loved ones they must roam.
Over, sometimes, hostile terrain.
May the struggle not be in vain.

Here's to those who payed the price.
By the ultimate sacrifice.
To all the families in pain.
May the struggle not be in vain.

Wars are fought so freedom may reign.
May the struggle not be in vain.

Well written! It was very touching, very patriotic. Your rhyming scheme was well done, it didn't seem forced at all!
