A Memorial Day Salute by Doris Steimer

They gave their tomorrows for our todays

We visited their graves in memory of all they

sacrificed and to say, "Thank You"

Once Decoration Day, is now Memorial Day.

Flags fly row on row to honor all those brave souls.

They gave so much, each who served

Do we remember?

Let not all they gave and those still serving,

be lost or forgotten.

Keep their sacrifices imbedded in hearts and minds.

Valor, honor, sacrifice, flag and country!

Land of the free "Because of the Brave!"
