There is a sense of sadness
In these solemn days,
AS we would reflect back
On this world's deadening ways.
Of all who met tragedy
Lives cut short of time,
Fighting for their country
Or as victims of cruel crime.

There is a wake up call
To whom would be free,
That Freedom is not cheap
Nor our precious Liberties.
For the cherished way of life
We appreciate,
By others is maligned
And thus such would violate.

There is a sense of pride
To think we are so blest,
With something others lack
Yet which we deem as the Best
For which many sacrifice
And give up their all,
Not as mere casualites--
But by which we all stand tall!
