Memorialized

To the veteran; daughter, son We honor you for all you’ve done. Throughout the land, our flags we raise; A grateful nation gives you praise. From general to private class, Unsung heroes and honored brass Receive our broken, heart-felt gaze. A grateful nation gives you praise. No benefit nor medal pin Begins to fill the debt within Each fallen tear reflects a glaze A grateful nation gives you praise. Widows know and children feel it: Freedom’s price, they so reveal it! Ceremonies, wreaths they have laid A grateful nation gives you praise. No greater love, than sacrifice All veterans have paid a price May thankful prayers be upraised A grateful nation gives you praise.
