Happy Memorial Day




A Tear for the Fallen
by
Edna Pellen
*Dedicated to the past veterans and the families of the lost veterans. 
Thank you for your sacrifice.*


A tear for the fallen
A tear for the lost
A tear for the veterans 
Who let us gain through their loss

A smile for the family
who let their loved one go
A flag for the orphaned children
Their parents no more to know

An ache for the blood
lost on foreign land 
A cry for the victory
and freedom bought by passed away woman and man

Love for the country
that they died to defend
A promise to not forsake the freedom
A promise not to let it end
