Flags today in tribute wave For those loyal ones who gave Of their youth, their hopes, their might For a cause they knew was right. Morning bells sound their call, Pause and say a prayer for all-- All who served valiantly That men might be ever free. Toll of bells, drums' slow beat-- Silence falls in every street. In each heart swells the plea: Keep us safe, but keep us free!
Ever try to swallow coffee with a constricted throat? Maybe I need to put down the cup...
Thanks, Meg, that was very touching. We all remember, and must never forget.
