Memorial Day

Memorial Day So many sacrifices Known and unknown Soldiers, veterans, marines, and troops Going above and beyond To protect Some have passed away A moment of silence ?? We honor you today To all of your families A silent prayer is said Thanks so much for all you did Sacrifices for our country , what does that really mean? "giving up personal desires, comfort, and even one's life for the greater good, prioritizing the well-being of the nation and its citizens. This can include military service, supporting national initiatives, or even simply demonstrating patriotism and civic duty. " Unity ??, Togetherness Helping one another Forming a relationship Looking out for each other Brotherhood, Sisterhood Being together through the bad and the good I understand Acts of service Service of Acts Learning the value of things that have been done Knowing that we shall overcome All of the obstacles All of our fears Memorial Day is here Memories are what they left behind To mankind They took an oath To do their best To be set up for nothing but success So many have lost their lives ?? This is sad Shortlived A whole life ahead They bled for our country The blue white and red It's more than just a flag It symbolizes well; red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice. That is just a few The dignity and pride That it holds Has no control Over all that has been taken from it Some people have sucumb for it Thanks so much for all that was done In America and taken even overseas Thanks for being all you can be I salute ?? to all To all I salute Thanks for all the opportunities given to generations to come Finding a way out To help Trying to create a clear path for yourself I appreciate all youve done For years before us and years to come In memory of all who have fallen Thanks for your service and walking in your calling I will forever be grateful For all You did when duty called.
