A Tribute to the Fallen

When you were old enough You answered the call to serve Many friends among you Didn't have the nerve Off to basic training Learn to fight a war Time to become a man Off to a foreign shore Battles you will face Put your life on the line Dying for your country To you that would be fine For our freedom You paid with your life Leaving your parents Kids and a wife Thank you for your sacrifice A cost we cannot repay Allow us to honor you On this Memorial Day Our Country Forever in your debt Promises that... We will never forget
