"America land of opportunity, Home of the Brave
And Free.

Where the American's Flag and Eagle fly for one and all
To see. Our Nation’s Flag ripples proudly in the breeze,
From sunny California to the sandy shores of Maine, all
Across America up to the ocean seas.

Many of our brave and patriotic sons and
Daughters who fought on foreign shores, have now gone
To their eternal rest.

On Memorial Day Americans honor our veterans, they
Deserve our praise and glory, for they are truly our
Nation's best!

Some made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our Country
Safe and free, they paid our future obligations in the
Name of liberty.

Please do not take for granted the legacy they
Bequeath, for these brave heroes never heard the words:
'Run' or 'defeat.'

So always remember and shall we never forget, to thank
Our veterans and active service men and women every
Chance we get.

That’s what, Memorial Day means to me."
