In the long and honored history of America There are names that shine like beacons in the night The Patriots whose vision gave us meaning Who kept the lamp of freedom burning bright
In the long and honored history of America There are those that paid the last and final price Who were called upon by chance, or desperate circumstamce To make the ultimate sacrifice
A greatful nation bows its head in sorrow And in thanks for guaranteeing our tomorrow The last full measure of devotion Thats what they gave to the cause
The last full measure of devotion And though they cannot hear our applause We honor them forever and keep alive their story Pay tribute to their lives and give them all the glory
The last full measure of devotion Beyond the call of duty were their deeds The last full measure of devotion They gave themselves to serve the greater needs
And for those who did survive And came back home alive They join in praise of comrades who were slain And highly resolved, most highly resolved That these dead shall not have died in vain
