Memorial Day 2014
It's time to remember those that served and died
Leaving loved ones behind whose tears they can't hide
Look deep into your soul as we honor them this day
For these are the true heroes as the ultimate price they did pay
Their names are preserved on small white crosses world wide
Their faces only memories to a few who stand quiet at grave side
There is no way we can truly repay them for the sacrifice they made
For a life lost is lost forever and even the most grand of memories do fade
Maybe the most honor we can show them is to be the best we can be
And stand tall against those that would bring shame to this the land of the free
For together we can forge the mightiest of unbreakable chains
And prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that our heroes did not die in vain
