"Gallant Men" by Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen

Down through the years, 
There have been men, 
Brave gallant men 
Who have died 
That others might be free. 
And even now, 
They do it still, 
Brave gallant men 
Know that someone must 
And so they will. 

Gallant men have built us a nation 
Passed us a torch of flame. 
Let us hold it high 
And light up the sky 
With praise of our gallant men. 
Tyrants must know, 
Now just as then, 
They cannot stand, 
Not as long as there are gallant men. 

 
Our gallant men have built us a nation 
Passed us a torch of flame. 
Let us hold it high 
And light up the sky 
With praise of our gallant men. 
Tyrants must know, 
Now just as then, 
They cannot stand, 
Not as long as there are gallant men. 
Gallant, gallant men.
