Memorial Day, Usa
Memorial Day, U.S.A.
The morning sun o'er the parapet seen,
Whilst heard on the wall the bugle call;
‘To The Colors’ as ‘Old Glory’ is raised,
To half-mast this Memorial Day;
In remembrance of America’s fallen military personnel:
Known and unknown, buried with full honors.
More than just numbers, they sacrificed their lives
For American liberty and independence.
In battles fought and won, these brave men and women
Denied our enemies victory:—on the home front,
In foreign lands, upon the oceans, and in the skies above,
And will not be forgotten by American people.
***
Note:
Memorial Day is a national U.S.A. holiday observed on the last Monday in May, in honor of American military personnel who died in service for their country.
