HONORING VIETNAMESE AND AMERICAN SOLDIERS
Your body’s gone, no longer here,
But your soul stays with the mountains and rivers.
Oh soldiers of Việt and America…
For whom did you die?
For whom did you fight?
The battlefield now lies silent,
The guns and bombs no longer thunder.
So many people reunite again…
But where are you now?
Where are you now?
You had a home, a family,
You had old parents waiting on.
Your loved ones with their lives to live…
You wished, like anyone,
For simple peace, for happiness…
But where are you now…
Where are you now…
The homeland honors you, the brave young men,
Who gave up all your youthful years in war.
For the dream of freedom, you marched forward,
Your whole lives offered so others could live warm and free.
Heroes may fall, but courage never dies.
The soul of the mountains still calls out your names.
You, the steadfast Vietnamese-American soldiers,
Gave your lives in the Vietnam War.
The homeland honors you, the brave young men,
Who left behind your youthful years in war.
For the dream of freedom, you marched forward,
Your whole lives offered so others could live warm and free.
Heroes may fall, but courage never dies.
The soul of the mountains still calls out your names.
You, the steadfast Vietnamese-American soldiers,
Gave your lives in the Vietnam War,
Gave your lives in the Vietnam War.
