You, all of you....
Though your bones are now dust
and many are but a memory
beneath a stone, or a forgotten grave
You, all of you
are not forgotten..

For each of you
though your lives are past
you live in our hearts, our souls
you are our courage, our strength
for if we ever forget you

You will have lived for naught,
In vain...

Thank you all, our ancestors
who gave your lives, your blood.
That our own might course through our veins
with the strength of freedom
and the gift of democracy

As does the raging river of our blood
The love of our Nation, our freedom
That you might live eternally
in our hearts...

Magnus darling boy this is beautifully said I love it utterly utterly

God Bless
America

Love and warm stuff
As always
slushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh
