Memorial Day Salute
They’ve fought in all of Earth’s terrains –
in deserts, jungles, snow and rain.
They answered the call unselfishly:
“protect our homeland, keep us free!”
Some tours were brief; some lasted years.
They ran to danger, swallowed fears.
In different lands they proudly served.
A hero’s honor they deserve.
They stand the tallest of the tall.
Kneel today for those who gave all.
