A Memorial Day Poem

FREEDOM'S CALL

THEY ARE CALLED TO BE IN UNIFORM
TO SERVE BOTH DAY AND NIGHT
PROTECTING OUR GREAT COUNTRY
TO FIGHT THE VALLIANT FIGHT

TO RESCUE US FROM DANGER
AT HOME-ACROSS THE SEA
BRAVE & SPECIAL PEOPLE
WHO KEEP OUR NATION FREE

AND TOGETHER ON A MISSION
OUR HEROES, THEY ARE THERE
EVERY COLOR--EVERY CREED
WITH FREEDOM'S LIGHT TO SHARE

AND DAY BY DAY--STEP BY STEP
ALL FOR ONE & ONE FOR ALL
OUR HEROES STAND TOGETHER STRONG
TO ANSWER FREEDOM'S CALL.

Remembering all those who served and died in our country's wars:

Civil War (both sides)

WWI

WWII

And any other wars I may have left out (don't tell my history professors)
