Heroes country as flag
On a cool foggy morn, the world starts out a new day
And life will go on freely in its hustle-bustle way
The world's earthly struggle can be safely replayed
Thanks to sacrifices that these brave souls have made

In this sacred location on God's earth so solemn
Resting in peace, row by row, column by column
Lie brave fallen warriors, loyal to their oath and creed
Known well was the danger. Fear, they chose not to heed

These heroes by their action made the world a safer place
And a debt of gratitude is owed by the whole human race
A bowed head, a moment of silence, a "thank you" prayer
Even the majestic bald eagle stops by, his respects to share

Bald Eagle on gravestone at National Cemetery in Minneapolis MN
