A HERO’S HEAVEN

There is a place called Hero’s Heaven

Only the bravest get to see

Reserved for those who gave their lives

For love of liberty

A special place of respect and honor

For those who paid the price

Who gave their lives to preserve our freedom

The greatest sacrifice

We salute you brave and gallant soldiers

For the sacrifice you made

The love you showed for God and Country

And for the selfish way you paid

Your sacrifice has given meaning

To this truth we hold dear

Our freedom is a sacred birthright

To defend and to revere

To you we owe this highest honor

For your love and dedication

No greater love could any show

Than you who died for our nation

For you there is a Hero’s Heaven

Only the bravest get to see

In the hearts and minds of a grateful nation

Who preserve your memory

IN HONOR OF OUR VIETNAM VETERANS
