Today is Memorial Day and I honor those that have fought for the freedom I so cherish as my own. So many of my family and friends have given so much to protect us. This is what i can do today to honor you all.
Thunder crashes and heat seers their faces
they plunge into the open field
determined to gain ground
desperate to win and live on
the heat of battle
the cacophony of its roar
making senseless the mindful
fear grips and tears at their hearts
yet they punch on
determined to gain ground
desperate to win and live on
as they struggle
some fall never to rise
pain and agony
heard in their cries
felt in the hearts of comrades
Yet they fight on for us
determined to gain ground
desperate to win and live on
You who give yourself
to the protection of us
we salute you
