Memorial Day is a time for us to
Remember and be thankful for
Those who fought in foreign wars.
They saved for us the precious gifts that we enjoy-
We may think as we please,
Write what we please,
Worship as we please,
Vote as we please.
We live free and secure only because of those who fought for
Our country, many making the ultimate sacrifice to
Preserve the sanctity of our freedoms.
Each of us should remember and commemorate our relatives
And friends who served. Say a prayer for each soldier,
Sailor and airman who fought for our well-being.
Whether by marching in or viewing a parade,
Participating in a memorial at a cemetery, or simply
Spending an afternoon together with friends.
We must never forget what these heroes did and the
Tremendous sacrifices their families made for us
All Americans, owe our gratitude and respect,
To every man and womanwho fought, to keep
Our precious freedom.
