Remember The Stars and Stripes

Remember the Stars and Stripes
those men and women who
gave their lives,
defending peace and liberty,
risking it all for the
land of the free.
Also let us not forget
tears their loved ones forever shed.
Wives who husbands never came home,
mothers and fathers who cry alone.
Children who mourn the parent they lost paying forever the ultimate cost.
Futures so bright taken away,
like the Stars and Stripes forever wave.
When you say your prayers tonight,
give thanks for their service and
sacrifice.
