To Those Who Served and To Those Who Gave the Ultimate Sacrifice - We Salute You.

I had been looking for a poem, quote, something that would signify the true spirit and meaning of Memorial Day. This one really touched me and I wanted to share it with all of you. As we all know, just because you find it on the internet and it has an authors name to it, sometimes that is not always so. So either way, I provided the name of the author that was on this, if it just happens to be wrong, I do apologize in advance. I also want thank my friends on Facebook for putting up the picture that I have attached below.

To my Seabee Husband, brothers, sisters and all who served our country for its freedom! GOD BLESS YOU ALL.



Beholding Beyond WordsBeholding Beyond Words To Our Servicemen And Women
Stationed Around The World In Far Away Places
There¹s Not Much We Can Say Too Thank Them Enough
For What They Go Threw Each Day In The Rough

But: Give Them Our Thanks
Give Them Our Love
Give Them Our Regards
For a Safe Return

We Praise and Raise Our Hands To You
That Earned the Honor That We Now Bestow
We Salute You For A Job Bravely Done
And Applaud Your Courage In The Face Of The Unknown

Defending Freedom
Defending Liberty
Defending Peace
At Home And Abroad

For The Past, Present, And Future Generations
Duty Will Always Be An Honorable Citation
To Stand The Ground That Freedom Upholds
To Endure Engagements Where Ever They Unfold

Defending Freedom
Defending Liberty
Defending Peace
At Home And Abroad

For Those MIA¹S, POW¹S,
Fallen Soldiers, Who Gave All They Could
We Will Search For As Long As It Takes
You Are Not Forgotten And Will Always Be

In Our Hearts
In Our Prayers
In Our Minds
For All Time

These Immortalized Soldiers Whose Bravery Abounds
They Are Sisters, Brothers Heroes Profound
They Enlisted For The Duty At Hand
To Serve The Cause Of Country And Land

They Serve With Honor
They Serve With Valor
They Serve With A Pride
That Will Change Them Forever

To Our Forces Standing Tall And Proud They Be
Our Countries Behind Them In A Solemn Sea
So Let The Flags Of Freedom Fly
Unfurled In Their Majesty High

In The Sun
In The Rain
In The Wind
Across This Land


These Are The Things Our Country¹s Made of
These Are The Things We Cherish And Love
So Let The Flags Of Freedom Fly
Unfurled In Their Majesty High

In The Sun
In The Rain
In The Winds
For All Time
