MIDI - IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
They died as America’s born
Spilled blood as they stormed foreign shores
They fought in a frigid Korea
These men who've been lost 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… take time to be grateful…it’s time that we say
It’s 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 what’s 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
TOPICS: Your Opinion/Questions

This is how it should have been done.
