FOREVER GALLANT HEROES !

The day was joyfully dancing.

The night was happily sleeping. 

Then came the thugs to disturb the peace.

The terrorists left the environment with no ease.

 

You couldn't leave them with the injustice.

So you trained hard as a recruit.

You fought hard to never quit,

You are a great agent of peace.

 

You are a warrior!

You are a fighter!

You are a coup detector!

You are a ranger!

 

You raid on land, air, and water!

You are a disciplined soldier!

What else haven't you sacrificed?

Tell me what you haven't faced.

 

Oh! You gallant combatants!

You are forever in our hearts!

Heroes, gone or present soldiers,

We will never forget your selfless sacrifices.
