For Veterans, In the Shadow of Rising Darkness

Guardians of Freedom in Every Battle

Honoring veterans, capturing their resilience, unity, and commitment to freedom and justice. This solemn tribute reflects their enduring spirit and the sacrifices made to protect these values.

In fields far and near, where battles were won,
Under flags of freedom, beneath the sun.
You stood with courage, heart and might,
Fighting for what’s just, defending the light.

But shadows grow long in this age of unrest,
Where truth and justice face a test.
And the voices of division seek to steer
The land you love, through hatred and fear.

To every veteran who held the line,
Who rose through darkness, undeterred, divine.
Know that your courage is needed still,
As tides of fascism test our will.

In the quiet of dawn, with steadfast resolve,
Your legacy calls us, our duty evolves.
To honor the peace you fought to defend,
We rise against forces that darkness send.

For freedom lives in vigilant hearts,
In each spirit that refuses to part.
From the ideals you held so true and clear,
That honor, dignity, and justice persevere.

So stand we together, in memory bright,
Veterans of battles, keepers of light.
In the face of shadows that threaten the land,
We pledge to uphold, to fight, to stand.
