They are true American heroes <br />The reason America is strong <br />God Bless America was written <br />For them and is completely their song <br /> <br />We worship the ground they walk on <br />We take pride in the people they are <br />For all the stripes on our flag <br />Are for them along with the stars <br /> <br />Memories weigh heavily on their shoulders <br />But others they proudly will tell <br />For they too saw American heroes <br />In friends they made and knew well <br /> <br />Yes, they are our American heroes <br />We cherish them wherever they go <br /> I’ll bet they do not fully realize <br />That we sincerely treasure them so!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-american-heroes/
