There are so many unknown soldiers
Who have died serving this country
In the battlefield of wars
To bring peace and democracy
Their names only known to family
They gave their lives for freedom
Human dignity and liberty
We are all indebted to them
Those noble soldiers did not die in vain
They will always be in our memory
For their galant role in a campaign
To free our world of tyranny.
