Memorial Day and Drag Racing

Memorial Day

by- C W Johnson

We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As TAPS began to play.
The Chaplin led a prayer
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.
They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here 'neath the sand.
I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.
Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,
Thanks for what you've given
No one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven
From now through evermore.

I agree, all Veterans deserve our thanks. We enjoy our lives and freedoms thanks to those who fought to keep us the greatest country in the world.....We owe them dearly and should never forget them!

And we still are the greatest country in the world!

Thanks, Joe and Larry -

This was the first Memorial Day in 35 years that I wasn't in uniform, and it felt really strange. Despite all the long hours, times away from home and multiple deployments it was still the best job in the world! G-d bless America!
