They died as Americas born
Spilled blood as they stormed foreign shores
They fought in a frigid Korea
These men who have died in our wars
They drowned in a far away sea
And baked on a hot desert sand
They fought in some forsaken jungles
They marched through a hell called Bataan
On this
Memorial Day
its time to be grateful
its time that we say
Its proper and right that we honor them all
They had selflessly given their lives and had answered the call
So now, it is left in our charge
we know whats right and wrong
And we must be prepared for a fight
we must always be strong
Say a prayer for the sacrifice made
for heroes in our history
They fought with their last ounce of courage
they knew freedom never is free
