Memorial Day

"Memorial Day isn't just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that's a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It's a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it."
Pete Hegseth

A moment of silence,
a prayer whispered,
for those who gave their lives.

They did not return
from their last battle,
to family,
to friends,
or jobs left behind
when the stepped up
to serve their country.

A moment of silence,
a prayer whispered,
for those who gave their lives
and who now in heaven reside.
