Memorial Day

Remember those who have fallen so we may stand in freedom. Remember our military heroes not with sadness alone but remember them with love They gave all, more than their lives They gave their dreams, hopes, desires For the faith that it will preserve our freedoms Fly the flag, visit their gravesites Give a moment of silence And enjoy the fun of food and drink A hotdog, hamburger, toast their memories Invite your veteran friends and neighbors Celebrate their memories for who they were Sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers Daughters, sisters, wives, and mothers Remember their wit, humor, and laughter Memorial Day is more than a day to be solemn It is a day to be grateful, a day to put a face a place, a heart on our fallen heroes. Their ultimate sacrifice grants us liberty And allows us our pursuit for happiness Thank you, and God Bless them all.

"Remember their wit, humor, and laughter Memorial Day is more than a day to be solemn It is a day to be grateful," I am glad you added that, for I am the mother of a soldier and I know one thing she always talks about is "keeping my loved ones safe." Perfect poem for today.

Well written. This is a special day. Unfortunately,Spent shopping, watching games on Tv, etc. Their sacrices are forgotten in a world of busyness and food and anything but thinking of the dead. Without them, no, we would not be free. Thank you for a job well done, Panagiota..
