To give up your life
For a face you've never seen
And still we are free

Honor glory hope
Words spoken of the brave dead
Freedoms never free

Because of the brave
We can remember the dead
Gone...not forgotten.

A perfect Memorial Day poem. This, just chilled me . . .

quote:
Because of the brave
We can remember the dead
Gone...not forgotten.
