In Their Honor

On this day, I think of those
who gave it all for a cause,
answered the call to duty and service.

I often wonder, what compels one
to make such a profound sacrifice,
how to quantify such bravery.

Those of us, the beneficiaries,
must honor them in remembrance,
our requisite duty to those who have fallen.

We must conduct ourselves in a manner
that honors their sacrifice,
show pride, patriotism and appreciation,
for this, we owe them all!
