Voices From the Stones
Voices from the Stones
A message from those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
Make these stones everlasting. We will tell you how.
Do not stand before these stones and weep.
We gave our lives, but we do not sleep.
Our names and ranks are etched in these stones.
Sturdy, more enduring than our flesh and bones.
Read our names, see our day
we gave our all for you to say…
…FREEDOM IS MINE!
Freedom is our gift for you to share.
it is also a duty you must bear.
Our loss of life is your gain,
Do not let us die for you in vain.
Pass freedom on and it will keep.
Fail in your duty, and we will surely sleep.
