Standing In Arlington

They stand there in silence Regardless of rank Far from their aircraft, Ship or their tank They stand in formation Row upon row Unmoved by the presence Of wind, rain or snow They stand on the hillsides They stand in the field In numbers so large All the ground is concealed They stand there for justice For freedom they call They represent soldiers Who gave us their all We stand tall and proud For all those who served We give them the honors They richly deserved We stand in respect While the flag is displayed When it’s handed to loved ones And Taps are then played We stand there in silence And in silence request The Lord take them home Now we’ve laid them to rest Mdailey June 14th is the Army's Birthday - I meant to post it that day but lost track of days.
