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.
