We salute each and every one of you,
On this very special day,
Because you served your country with so much pride,
In a very special way.
So on this day we say thank you,
And we're as proud as can be,
Because you risked your life for all of us,
And now we are all free!
Welcome home!
Happy Memorial Day Poem - Craig Winfree
"They were brave then, and gave us the freedom we have now. But would they be so proud, if they knew to our enemies, the President would apologise and bow? Some leaders, who with disdain, wish to stray so far from our roots, tie the hands of our soldiers who fight and force many to turn-in their boots. This, too, shall not last as it never has in our past. History will prove that this country shall not move, from the proud traditions set and honoring the courage of those we have not met."

We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did.
