Memorial Day

country as flag
Many men have died for us
so we could live in peace.
We honor you on this day
as our pride will never cease.

You served your country proud
and brought pride to us all.
I thank God for every one
who answered their last call.

For some you may be gone now
but you'll never be forgotten.
As you lie there in the ground
under that flag of woven cotton.

From the beginning of our country
to the last war we just fought.
Your duty and your honor
will never have been for naught.

For those of us still here
and remember you this day.
If it wasn't for you all
there would be no USA.
