"MAY WE NEVER FORGET THOSE WHO SACRIFICED ALL FOR OUR FREEDOMS"

MEMORIAL DAY IS THE HOLIDAY THAT MAKES OTHER HOLIDAYS POSSIBLE!

Since the words I do not have,
to give the tribute that is due,
So a simple heartfelt thanks,
sincerely I give to you.

Thanks to our American heroes,
whose devotion is second to none,
Whose courage and braveness alone
caused many battles to be won.

We have beaten the forces of evil
and carried our flag far and wide,
Because of our American Warriors,
our hearts are filled with pride,

Only because of you and the price
you willingly did pay,
Only because of you,
Old Glory still flies today!
