To Recall and Restore Our Freedoms

American soldiers have given their lives in war after war after war after war Be they in the Army, in the Navy in the Air Force or the Marine Corps For four constitutional freedoms they made the ultimate sacrifice Freedom of Speech, of the Press Freedom of Religion, of Assembly the right to petition and redress Rightly do we honor the fallen heroes who've nobly defended our country's ideals But it is on us who remain to preserve what we've cherished not to forgo them in tawdry backroom deals Yet it seems that is just what we've done for the past 60 years What began as 'cultural revolution' has morphed into fascism and fear Can we this Memorial Day recall and restore our vaunted freedoms ere they vanish in dusky corridors of abandoned museums?
