THE WWII MEMORIAL It’s been a long time coming And it is way overdue This Memorial to Honor Heroes Who died during World War II. On the Mall in Washington There’s a curving Wall of Stars Marking four hundred thousandDead Plus those Survivors healing scars. Sixteen million Served In all the Military ways With only four million left And most, with numbered days. Most Americans today Don’t know how close we came To the tides turning against us But for, those Battles in our name. A Tribute we owe all Those Who paid the Ultimate Price And it’sbetter late than never To Honor their Supreme Sacrifice. So many of those Veterans say That was the last, ”Military War” The clear danger to our Nation Was what, They were fighting for. Now, They will never be forgotten Immortalized within that Stone Gathered together in one place So They will never be alone. Del “Abe” Jones 05-29-2004 Del "Abe" Jones |

I agree with you that World War II veterans should be remembered for the service that they did. |

How different it could have been, but for those brave souls who went in harm's way. I salute your effort here. |
