"My dedication to this sacred duty is total and whole-hearted. In the responsibility
bestowed on me never will I falter. And with dignity and perseverance my standard
will remain perfection. Through the years of diligence and praise and the discomfort
of the elements, I will walk my tour in humble reverence to the best of my ability.
It is he who commands the respect I protect, his bravery that made us so proud.
Surrounded by well meaning crowds by day, alone in the thoughtful peace of
night, this soldier will in honored glory rest under my eternal vigilance."

No one knows who they are,
No one knows where they came from.
They are unknown heroes, who nobly gave their
lives for their beloved country.
Their heroic deeds prove freedom has a price
and doesn't come cheap.
They fought bravely and stood firm with only one
thought in mind; to stop and repel the enemy at any cost.
Do not weep for the Unknown Soldiers, for they are
with Almighty God in heaven where they belong.
When their names are called in heaven, they will
proudly step forward with honor saying,
Present, God."
God bless the unknown soldiers for that which
they stood: Honesty, Courage, Bravery, and Grace.
God Bless America.
"The Unknown Soldiers"
