Fifty years since their lives they gave <br /> So freedom lives the flag still waves <br /> They wanted to live, The same as you <br /> Be with their children, they never knew <br /> So many things, they all did miss <br /> Those soft sweet lips no more they'd kiss <br /> They loved to run feel the morning sun <br /> Loved so many things for they were young <br /> But war forced them to leave their home <br /> Fight in foreign lands and die alone <br /> So don't forget, though they are gone <br /> Though your life be sweet and full of song <br /> They gave their all, the flag still waves <br /> O'er the land of the free and the home fo the brave <br /> So when you see a lonesome grave <br /> And the stars and stripes above it waves <br /> Just bow your head and remember yet <br /> <br /> They gave so much; Please don't forget !<br /><br />Cecil L.
