YE WARRIORS OF THE HILLS, BE BRAVE LIKE THE LIONS

We knew how much suffering you've gone through,
We knew about your poor facilities to fight our enemies,
We well knew how many more hills you've to climb,
We knew how many battles you still have to fight,
We knew how much blood and sweat you've shed, and will shed more
To pay the price of our long-lost freedom, dignity, and honor.

You've crossed many rivers without bridges,
You've walked many miles without boots,
You've fought many battles without proper equipment,
You've survived many days without food and water,
You've endured many long cold nights without any blankets.
You've guarded our land day and night without any complaints.

Remember you must, that we, your people, really want to -
Provide you the best weapons to fight our enemies,
Supply you with Level IV bulletproof vests to protect yourselves,
The famous AWM/SVD Dragunov sniper to eliminate the approaching enemies,
The latest tactical helmet to protect you from headshots,
The modern M22 binoculars to scan the movements of enemy forces,
The advanced robotic T4 drones to study every inch of the enemy's land.

But, we couldn't afford all these with our little hard-earned purses.
As they said, war should be first fought from within,
Train yourselves to be as lethal as the king cobra,
Strengthen yourselves to be as strong as the oxen,
Be brave like the lions, and fight like the pack of wolves,
Be always alert to have a vision like an eagle.
Resist anyone who dares to set foot on our land.

Prepared for the worst; hope for the best,
And always remind yourselves of Psalm 23.
Never forget for whom you've fought this war,
Behind you, we've prayed day and night soberly in tears ceaselessly.
If you fall, we will all fall with you, never to wake up again.
There is nothing more noble and glorious than to die for our fatherland.
You were born to fight this war for our better tomorrow.

Our respect and salute to all our warriors!
