Remember

The rain poured and the thunder clapped

On that foggy Sunday night

As the plain was loading many tears were falling 

In remembrance of that fight

We fight for freedom in this country that we love

Thought many don’t return

Our flag fly’s high 

With stripes of red and white

With stars surrounded by blue

We remember family’s of many solders

Who never do come home 

Our flag flutters in the breeze showing

Freedom, love, and peace

On that Sunday night when solders will come home

We stand upon that shuttle 

As we try to find our seats

We gaze upon the pictures 

That line upon the wall

They fought for what they stand for

Our action how we speak

We lay the flag across the coffin 

In remembrance of there name.
