Long ago on rolling hills

And endless plains

Stood men who fought

For a cause beyond common understanding

Bound together by integrity

They persevered

When odds gave no chance

Led by a man

Whose name was always half whispered

They made a vow

From that day forth

To stand as one

For in so doing

They found the strength

Lost on thousands

And won the day

Freedom they earned

From the blood they sacrificed

In defending a land

Not all their own

Thus were legends made

Respect of generations earned

Handed down from father to son

Mother to daughter

For all to hear

How strength is found

When standing as one

Throughout history

From the example made

Nations have been born

To see freedom reign

Overcoming such odds

That would defeat weaker men

All brought forth long ago

On rolling hills and endless plains

In the lessons taught

By men who stood as one and persevered

For a cause far beyond

Common understanding of mortal men
