Memorial Day

You fought over the smallest of sand

For my country in a foreign land

Advance all the time and never retreat

USA is number one and can never be beat

The military taught you how to survive

I hope you can make it home alive

 

 

When everything is all said and done

You fought with your life for my freedom

Thank you for fighting for me

Now I know freedom doesn’t come free

What you did for America makes me feel over come

Thank you for fighting for my freedom

 

 

Remember them for the blood the gave

To make America home of the brave

Army Navy Air force Marine

Toughest old boys you’ve ever seen

Hopefully they’ll get back to those crying mothers

They will be alright with they’re band of brothers

 

 

When everything is all said and done

You fought with your life for my freedom

Thank you for fighting for me

Now I know freedom doesn’t come free

What you did for America makes me feel over come

Thank you for fighting for my freedom

 

They sent them to the school of hard knox

Now they’re coming home in a pine box

Zipped up in a in a bag

They gave they’re family a flag and a dog tag

Remember them when you pray

Stand tall for them and remember them on Memorial Day
