Forever Free

In the land Where brave men die Stories are told Where these men lie Of how they fought And what they sought Glory not for themselves But freedom to die As they chose So they did And gave their all So those that follow Might know free will Brave men in troubled times Who lived not to count Rich men’s dimes Lived lives full Rather facing death Than to live as slaves Men of honor who drank their fill Feasted on life Till filled with hope Riding into battle already won Free to feel the sun With the wind in their hair Free to choose their day to die Oh to be so free May we always be To always remember the legend Of a man and men Who so believed in integrity and honor In the face of challenge and strife Rode off to face death To put their lives to the test For a greater cause That we might live Forever free

"Integrity and honor" are the makings of admirable men, not material wealth. Those who sacrifice their lives so we can be free deserve our gratitude and admiration. This is a great and timely write with Memorial Day fast approaching, Mike. Excellent as always. Love, Carolyn
