Memorial Day 2019

eyeofthetiger2u7: A Soldiers Lament
...
For my Country tears I shed
Never more shall I be misled
I have always done my duty
For what I thought is right
The red white and the blue
Ever waving in plain sight
~
For Country I have bled
Until the streams ran red
What I give so others live
To some is a Hero's song
It's all for thee for Liberty
And this Nation we belong
~
Fret not for me in infamy
These visions still remain
We were born to be free
The pain is never in vain
Memory's they will linger
From a lonely Battlefield
My friends are just a blur
And carry a Battle Shield
~
An Old Soldiers Lament
That lasts for ever more
A tribute to the Uniform
That they proudly wore
And with them I served
Among the bravest best
In the arms of the Lord
And never be forgotten
Then Finally put to rest
~~~~
And I quote
" Old Soldiers never Die "
" They just Fade Away "
( General Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964 )
~~~~
On this Memorial Day
God bless the brave Men and Women
That served in the Armed Forces
And sacrificed so much
Saying that nothing bad will happen
To anyone in this great Country
Not on my watch
