Commemeration and Remembrance

Light a candle and say a prayer/ For those you lost who you hold dear/ Some were drafted, some volunteered/ Their service and the youth they lost were liberty's worthy cost/ For they bought freedom's share/ The forlorn hope with vanguard brave ended up in a common grave/ At Iwo Jima and Vera Cruz, they took the path that few would chose/ They found the unknown barricade, and we all owe a debt to the sacrifice they made. God bless America on this and every Veteran's Day
