American Hero Memorial Day Poem

the American hero who did not get the parade
 who left his dog tags on the field
 who's weapon fired his last round 
 who now rests on holy ground
 for the ultimate price they paid
 in my heart i have a place everyday 
 i remember the ones who did
 and the family members who do 
 to make America free for me and you
 it is not just a day , we should kneel down
 and pray , for the warriors who are out in 
 the field fighting for the flag of freedom
 we'll cherish those we've lost
 and their gift to us , the total cost
 this Memorial Day take a moment and pray
