War is never over <br /> Thought the treaties may be signed <br /> The memories of the battles <br /> Are forever in our minds <br /> <br /> War is never over <br /> So when you welcome heroes home <br /> Remember in their minds they hold <br /> Memories known to them alone <br /> <br /> War is never over <br /> Nam veterans know this well <br /> Now other wars bring memories back <br /> Of their own eternal hell <br /> <br /> War is never over <br /> For I knew world war two <br /> And I'll not forget the battles <br /> Or the nightmares that ensue <br /> <br /> War is never over <br /> Those left home to wait know this <br /> For many still are waiting <br /> It was their farewell kiss <br /> <br /> War is never over <br /> Though we win the victory <br /> Still in our minds the battles <br /> No freedom is not free!<br /><br />Cecil L.
