Memorial Day


Dear Dad,
I have this picture proudly displayed in my living room. What a handsome young soldier you are! The following poem seemed to express my thoughts about the sacrifice you and many others made for us so many years ago...
Thank you, Dad! I love you!




One Nation under God

One Nation under God we live
Think about all some had to give

We the people share freedom’s life
In a world of ever present strife

Be grateful to those who kept this true
Warriors of our red, white, and blue

They were trained by those of great skill
Honed to perform, so strong their will

They showed what love was all about
They fought for us, there is no doubt

Defended bravely what we are
No holding back, though wounds and scars

Highly praise these brave dear men
Giving thanks time and again

Those in uniform will always be
The golden pride of this country
