At that time and in that place,
Eighteen thousand gave Liberty a face.
No names listed to tell us who,
These soldiers that I never knew.
Preparing to go fight a war,
Some not returning to our shores.
Yet here they stand united still,
Bringing Liberty to life at their will.
Calling to memory a different nation,
When being American meant celebration.
When being a soldier meant defending the land,
And big business had no blood on it's hands.
When eighteen thousand had the right,
To gather and bring Liberty to life.

By the way ...
I missed it the first time, but you mean "bring Liberty TO life", I'm sure. You might want to fix that before the contest ends. -
C'est magnifique ...
