SOULS REMEMBERED

Unknown but not forgotten

+ + + +

Defending their national honor,

Defending their country’s voice,

They gave the Ultimate Sacrifice

By making the Ultimate Choice.

+ +

They chose to fight with their comrades;

Their emotions bursting with pride.

Some live to relate the horrors of war –

But, too many heroes have died.

+ +

They carried their Flag onto Victory

For the home of the free and the brave.

We remember our fallen heroes

By placing a flag at each grave.

+ +

All of them buried with honors –

Their names, now, chiseled in stone.

But, too many are honored by one silent tomb:

The Soldier whose name is unknown.

+ + + +

God Bless America and those who fought to keep her free.
