Onward and Upward

"Onward and upward" the good men and women were heard to say as they drew their swords to join the fray The enemy was vanquished and did quickly give way And peace was preserved in a grandiose display Now for those that gave all we kneel and pray So they will be forever remembered on this Memorial Day Charles Hampton Gragg May 27, 2013
