Words we write with meaning
With love and great respect
For all of life's great heroes
Who guard us and protect

These chosen ones with courage
Who'll be there when we call
With honor as their motto
With duty to us all

So special that we have them
To keep us safe from harm
Always there to serve us
With love that goes beyond

And so this little tribute
For all who give each day
Their life and heart with courage
So gallantly portrayed.
