    Happy Memorial Day

    Not my work , but it was very well put together on frenchspot.com. Have a Great Memorial Day people .


    We walked among the crosses
    Where our fallen soldiers lay.
    And listened to the bugle
    As taps began to play.

    The Chaplin led a prayer
    We stood with heads bowed low.
    And I thought of fallen comrades
    I had known so long ago.

    They came from every city
    Across this fertile land.
    That we might live in freedom.
    They lie here 'neath the sand.

    I felt a little guilty
    My sacrifice was small.
    I only lost a little time
    But these men lost their all.

    Now the services are over
    For this Memorial Day.
    To the names upon these crosses
    I just want to say,

    Thanks for what you've given
    No one could ask for more.
    May you rest with God in heaven
    From now through evermore    .
