Inscription. You were there to was in for the enemy,
You were there, to lead us.
You were there to love and comfort us.
You were there to die for us, and you did.

You were our friend, our comrade, our family,
But most of all, you were there to serve,
With courage, dignity and pride.

Always, you will remain in our hearts
as a lasting tribute to unconditional love
and service to your count

War Dogs we salute you!
