On Memorial Day
Our thoughts turn to thankfulness
To those who gave their lives
Who fought with guns and knives
Our thoughts turn to thankfulness
To those who gave their lives
Who fought with guns and knives
Who braved the unthinkable
Endured the impossible
Thinking not of their own life
Not necessarily even the current strife
But valuing freedom, honor,
Selfless service, loyalty,
Duty, respect,
Courage and integrity
Selfless service, loyalty,
Duty, respect,
Courage and integrity
Over the pain,
Back breaking hard work,
Mental strain,
And grueling hours.
Back breaking hard work,
Mental strain,
And grueling hours.
Each of you is a hero
Strong and brave.
You live on in our hearts
Beyond the grave.
Strong and brave.
You live on in our hearts
Beyond the grave.
They say freedom isn't free
You know that is true.
Thank God for liberty.
Thank God for you.
You know that is true.
Thank God for liberty.
Thank God for you.
