They were only children when the war started
They heard the cry of freedom and they answered
They left children and came back grown ups
They fought through jungles islands and destroyed cities
They stormed the beaches of Normandy
They took the Phillipines
No matter the enemys might
They stood their ground
Their will to protect freedom greater than any weapon man will ever make
Their sacrifice
Our Freedom
Most of them only 18
just out of high school eager for life
They were the shy kid in math class
They were the captain of the football team
they were the girl you had a crush on
They are the old men and women you see in uniform
but above all
They are Heros
And the next time you go out or read this poem
Remember Some Gave all
So in this Great Country we can be free
They now walk the fields of Heaven
With God holding the fallen in the palm of his hand
They answered the call to serve.
Will you?
Remember those who served
