Heroes All Who Understand
A hero need not be those revered
Set on pedestals and cut in stone
They are heroes all, behind the scenes
Who are a part of the liberty we have known
Lonely wives with husbands abroad
Fighting wars against tyranny
Motherless children who lost the arms
Of mothers who died with dignity
Parents of children they nurtured and held
Only to send them off to war
A sister of a brother who protected her
Who enlisted and she will see no more
All are heroes in the cost of freedom
Who loneliness and loss are their sacrifice
As are all Americans cheering wars we won
Who support the real heroes we idolize
Heroes are those who will understand
The scars and loss that come with war
They are the ones who will extend their heart and hand
To our selfless veterans for evermore
