Our Decoration Day remembers those who died
for country giving lives in military way.
Their courage shining bright as lights is true and tried
reflecting deeds far better, yea, than we can say.
To those dead souls our humble homage we do pay.
Put flowers, wreaths, flags, prayers on high upon their graves,
thanks be to those who died we're free this day not slaves.

tigeye,
A good Memorial Day poem. Yes, we should honor those who passed away while serving our country.

Good stuff. Reminds me of Remembrance Day (for Canada).
Always amazed how people back then (and now) are giving their lives so we can have ours.

An apt and beautiful tribute to our fallen warriors. We truly owe them everything. Well done.

On my eyelids,
And rub it deep into my
