Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memories that have been made 
Lives celebrated for the price they paid 
Sacrificing for a country 
Who has has went down so bluntly 
Values , pride and joy are some of the qualities 
That the media tries to destroy 
Serving our country whether a girl or boy woman or man 
Instead of saying you can't 
Knowing you can 
On the battlefield 
Willing to give up everything 
For the land of the free and the heart of the brave 
Being trained to help us , with things 
You don't know what a joy it brings 
We all have talent and gifts 
Loyalty and respect 
The best hasn't been given yet
Thanks for not regretting your decision.
To have a vision 
To go above and beyond your duties 
To heal a land or attempt to come up with a plan
So many have fought
Bullets caught 
Bombed and wasn't given a chance to show the world 
That it can be turned around 
From being upside down 
Each uniform you put on 
Each cloth has a patch a story 
My heart goes out to those who have went on to glory 
Let's take a moment of silence
To remember those who helped curve violence who helped protect they did all they could 
They never neglect 
Bow our heads for respect
They didn't do it just for a check 
They did it for me and you 
A round of applause 
Your service puts us in awwwweee
Do you know what it means to sacrifice ?
The ultimate price 
With your life 
Reminds you of Jesus Christ 
Leading the tribe 
To a world wide 
Wide open 
This is a token 
To be so giving 
In the land of the living 
On this day we shall never forget 
The line of duty 
The long days and long nights 
You all put up a great fight 
I salute to the fallen soldiers and the living troops 
It's like a basketball trying to get in the hoop
Salute ,Salute 
Excel do well 
Take a picture create memories for in a split second it all can be taken 
This is my tribute to you 
In memory of all you've done and all you can and will do 

United we stand , united we fall thanks for your service and all !!!
