Memorial Day

In memory of those who died Protecting liberty. Recalling those who, for them, cried, Their friends and family. For answering our country’s call, A debt we can’t repay, Humbly we salute them all On Memorial Day. In war and peace our soldiers stand, Just like our flag unfurled, As symbols of our noble land To all throughout the world. And we who relish being free Rise up in a display In honoring their bravery On Memorial Day. For those who freely gave their lives, For those who made it home, For those who still for freedom strive, Our gratitude is shown. For those who stand and those who fall To God above we pray. We honor those who heed the call On Memorial Day. Humbly we salute them all On Memorial Day.
