Remembering Our American Heroes

To our service men and women

We’re forever indebt

You defended our freedom

And our pride in you is set

 

Some of you came home

And sadly, some did not

Some came home to families

Too many to a grave plot

 

On this Memorial Day

Our stars and stripes fly for you

Our American flag

The red, white and blue

 

Stand tall with pride and honor

As the eagle soars above this land

Its shadow over grave yards

A salute from white gloved hands

 

Also, to doctors and nurses

In pandemic times of need

Putting your lives on the line

So others can be freed

 

Thank you all for your service

Feel our pride in you shows

Our hearts embrace you

Remembering our American heroes
