But For Freedom's Chance (Memorial Day)

But for freedom's chance this day be ours Beneath banner spangled stars To lips the names that came before Announced from sea to shining shore Hoist flags to fly against the skies Arlington, Calverton, Pinelawn, dies With honor, guns of twenty one They are the fallen daughters, sons Red blooded heroes, we bury, blue White gloved salute, while Taps, blew Bow to the bold that lie in graves Sacrificed..what glory saves... *Arlington, Calverton, Pinelawn...National cemeteries for our soldiers * Taps- played at a serviceman's funeral, along with the firing of the twenty one gun salute.
