Memorial Day

All through our country's history They came when they were called From every village, town and city They stood proud and tall They never asked how much it paid 0r what rewards might be given. They answered loud and in one voice To this country we swear allegiance They were your sons and daughters Your fathers, wives and brothers Who donned this country's uniform To battle was their motto. They went to fight the good fight to protect us all from harm. They fought morning noon and night They answered the call to arms. At home we vow to not forget The service they have rendered We vow that no matter what The soldiers shall be remembered. They gave their lives in service to the citizens of the USA And once a year we honor them Each and every Memorial Day. So from all of us we offer one salute. To our soldiers and our veterans too To let them know they are honored For all that they do. We take a moment to bow our heads For those who died when called That they are gone but not forgotten They are heroes one and all.
