Memorial Day Message

Memorial Day is a day to remember those that have past Keeping the pursuit of happiness in our grasp They paid the ultimate sacrifice so willingly Allowing all of us to have that barbeque under the tree Take the time to visit a memorial or a grave Or even go to see the Soldiers in a parade Fly the flag in your yard with pride In honor of those that have died. Many a Soldier we have lost to war I’ve looked at the numbers, not a pretty score Millions of Soldiers have paid the price They went to war and rolled the dice Not knowing if they would survive or not Pressing forward no matter the cost Capturing a hill from an enemy force Laying down their life; staying the course Take a moment or two on this very special day Make a toast; tip your glass for those gone away Thank them for the freedom as you tip your brew Make this special day all about them, not about you Duane LaChance 2014
