Remembering Our American Heroes

Accidental Poet



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

    Good write AP.

  • Doggerel Dave

    Leaving aside the two great wars for the moment, which specific conflicts could be classified as the defense of our freedom, AP?

    • Accidental Poet

      Any conflicts where other humans are mistreated or rights have been violated Dave. Thanks for the read. ; )

      • Doggerel Dave

        So do you categorically believe That all and every conflict "Our American Heroes" were involved in was in defense of freedom?

        • Accidental Poet

          In one form or another, yes.

          • Doggerel Dave

            OK - I'll just leave it, I think.
            Take care, AP.

            • Accidental Poet

              Thanks, I think. You take care as well Dave.

                  Using an expression used at UK Memorial Services:

                  "WE WILL REMEMBER THEM".

                  an important write!
                  we must never forget, the cost
                  for this freedom we so easily, waste..
