Have a Happy Memorial Day :) As we stand here looking They fought for their Country As we all are gathered here I'm sure that they would do it Let's pass on to our children Let's not forget their families No matter which war was fought So as the bugler plays out Taps Take home with you a sense of pride
At the flags upon these graves
Know these flags represent
A few of the true American brave
As man has through all of time
Except that these soldiers lying here
Fought for your country and mine
To pay them our respect
Let's pass this word to others
It's what they would expect
If it were me or you
To show we did not die in vein
But for the red, white and blue.
And to those who never knew
What these soldiers died for
It's the least we can do
Great pain they had to bear
Losing a son, father or husband
They need to know we still care
On the day that they died
I stand here looking at these flags
Filled with American pride.
With its sweet and eerie sound
Pray for these soldiers lying here
In this sacred, hallowed ground.
You were here Memorial Day.
Celebrating the way Americans should
On this solemnest of days.
