They are the Great

The day is done
The battle's won
Hold proud aloft your sword
Come sing with me
Of victory
Give praise and thank the Lord
But keep in mind
And try to find
Compassion in your heart
For others who
Stood tall with you
But now must stand apart
Although those men
Fell ten by ten
Their names for evermore
Shall cross our tables
Fuel our fables
And ring from shore to shore
They are the Great
Who met their fate
So others might be free
They are the blessed
Who lay in rest
Across a bloody sea.
May they forever Rest in Peace

BRAVO! This is not only well written but so full of warmth and love for the men and woman out serving and keeping our freedom.
Freedom is not ours for free!
Have a wonderful 4th of July too
Hugs

Great poem and shelby makes a great point freedom isn't free it's not a right if there is such a thing
some people have to pay the ultimate price to make it possible for us to have what little freedom we have
again great poem
hope to read more soon
