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.
