Boys, Men, Soldiers, Heroes

A day of rememberence
a day of joy but sadness
a day of thank you's 
a day of memories

Boys who learned to grow up quickly 
boys who were whisked away from all they knew
boys who put on their uniform 
boys who sharred one thing in common, pride

Men who fought for our country 
men who left families behind 
men who took their final journey 
men who fought for what is now 

Soldiers who suffered in the trenches 
Soldiers who dodged the bullets 
Soldiers who had no salvation 
Soldiers who stood proud for us 

Heroes who died out on the front line
Heroes who never lived to see this day 
Heroes who just made it to D-day 
Heroes who were our boys,men and soldiers

A day of celebration along with grief
a day of sorrow along with pride
a day of realistaion
of just how many never returned 
from a cold war 
boy's,men and soldiers
