Who are these men,
of whom we know and venerate,
these men,
who we place above reproach,
we know their names,
from what they did,
from how they led,
these men of history,
whose names live,
again and again,
whose deeds are retold,
and never get old
These men of leisure,
who would bow,
to no king,
declared independence,
and fought instead,
men of high value,
took a fledgling coliniztion,
to a new world nation
They framed a constitution,
hung it straight,
at level eye sight,
for all to study and agree,
a conglomeration of peoples,
whose faces change,
yet,
names remain the same,
these are the men,
of whom,
we know and venerate
They are the men,
who had no fear,
who laid down their lives,
for a nation to survive,
these names,
harbor no mystery,
these are the men,
of American history
