Heroes Of Our Country

As the sun rises to greet the new day,
The nation prepares to honor those souls who sacrificed
 The ultimate price for their country.
Each one of them silently standing tall, proud and free, 
They paid the ultimate price for you and me .
From those early days when a young group of states
Bravely  fought against England's king,
And a new nation had began,
And latter to go off later to fight in that far of land 
Called Vietnam.
And now a family and nation gathered here today,
To honor these souls in a very special way.
Your sacrifices are noted and forever all of you will be
Looked upon as heroes of our country
