So Recorded by "Caliber" country as flag
Bravo old soldier, you scribe of war
Record your history evermore

Engrave it forever in black granite stone
So all will know none have died alone

This be the hour we decree it is right
Forget not the lives lost past midnight

Take your pen and in their red blood write
The names of soldiers no longer in our sight

And then declare with all of your might
The time for remembering is past midnight

About Author... Faye Sizemore makes her home in the beautiful foothills of South Carolina with Grant, the love of her life, as well as three dogs, two cats, two parakeets and four nanny goats. Grant is a Vietnam Veteran having served with the US Marines in 1968-69 and is, of course, Faye's muse. Faye is deeply interested in Veterans' Affairs and Veterans' Causes. She is very proud of Grant and her poetry is an off-shoot of that pride.
