Many Military Memories
Many Military Memories
Many military memories were made
Into past, none of them will fade
Lasting forever and one more day
Even after they have passed away.
Things had occurred year after year
In their mighty military career
Helicopter blades into air did swirl
What happened would make your hair curl.
Some were found on battlefield bleeding
Others an entire platoon were leading
While another was typing up an order
We here at home were a supporter.
Had heard some sailed out to sea
In news and books have made history
There was a beach full of soft sand
Where they came ashore and would land.
Graves are near Normandy and Flanders Field
And now at church as I sadly kneeled
Solemnly prayed for them each and everyone
And thanked God for all that they had done.
