A Memorial

Risked their lives to protect and defend Separation from family took time to mend Walked on mine fields, waded through waters Left behind many wives, sons and daughters Fought for our country to keep it free All are the heroes who died for you and me Some battles was lost and others were won Toiling until the rising and setting of the sun Looking to the flag that will ever stand tall The red, white and blue means freedom for all To all who died or continues to pay the cost The star spangled banner ever echoing our loss Copyright 2013
