Memorial Day is about our fallen soldiers and respecting them; not about picnics and parties. we should remember and celebrate that.
Memorial Day
By Franklin Price

Memorial Day, a time for thought,
Of wars that our brave soldiers fought,
With their lives our freedom bought,
Let not their lives be lost for naught.
All gave some and some gave all,
Were there when country came to call,
Rose to the test, stood straight and tall,
Some returned beneath flag pall
They flew so high on eagle's wing.
Their memories to which we cling
Are ones that let our freedom ring;
Should on this day their praises sing.
