Remember the Soldiers who died for Freedom

A church bell slowly tolls in the distance
       Remember the soldiers who died for freedom
A lone bugler plays Taps on the hill in tears
       Remember the soldiers who died for freedom

21 guns dramatically blast a salute in the wind
       Remember the soldiers who died for freedom
Military music remind the mourners of sons and daughters lost
       Remember the soldiers who died for freedom

Heartfelt speeches remember their ultimate sacrifice
       Remember the soldiers who died for freedom
Thousands of flags proudly flutter in the cemeteries
       Remember the soldiers who died for freedom 

Forget the new car, barbeque and latest blockbuster film--
This Memorial Day: remember the soldiers who died for freedom

"And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, 
     What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, 
        Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God."   
                                                      Acts 10:4
