I Must Say

I must say Did you post a flag this Memorial Day, In appreciation to all our soldiers The wounded, the fallen, and those getting older. Did you post a flag for your support For our fighting men and women who wouldn't abort, And how they proudly served Their bravery and honor our country observed. Do you have a flag flying Or a post of our proud banner everyone is eyeing, Showing all our soldiers we appreciate In every U.S State. This I will patriotically and proudly tell My father served and fought in a war, its hell And so did my cousins and my uncles, my dad's brothers And so did over a million others. They fought, they swore, they prayed, and they cried And they screamed, they starved, they were wounded and died, They shedded their sweat and even their blood For strangers and family and friends and a country loved. One thing I must say that I cannot understand When I and others proudly salute the flag with our hand, How can anyone support any accuser Who called or calls any of our U.S soldiers a loser. Randy L.
