MEMORIAL DAY

MEMORIAL DAY
FLAGS DECORATE THE FINAL RESTING PLACES OF OUR FALLEN HEROES
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
THE RED WHITE AND BLUE FLIES AT HALF-STAFF ALL MORN
A MOMENT OF SILENCE AT 3PM
WHISPERED PRAYERS FOR AMERICA'S TRUE SAINTS
AND A CONCERT AT THE CAPITOL
THE VERY LEAST WE CAN DO
FOR THE ONES WHO GAVE THEIR ALL
FOR OUR FREEDOM.
