Forever red,

Forever white,

Forever blue,

Is it patriotic to forget the ones the ones who stood for you!

Because we once stood proud,

We once shout aloud,

As we ran into danger,

As our patriotic soul,

Died one at a time,

To protect your pride

And your stance as you,

Cheer on the new,

And you forgot who died for you!

We stand tall,

We stand prideful,

Not as soldiers as we once were

Because we are warriors  forgotten no more!
