Thank You!!!!!!!!

A time for picnics, time off work -Vacations and the "Indy" -A holiday, too often timesWe forget what, it should be.

A time to pay respect to thoseWho rallied to the battle cry -Who gave their lives for liberty -Those freedoms for you and I.

Such a waste of brave young souls -Some still struggling through their youthWho faced and fell willinglyBefore wartimes' awful truth.

So as we share this holidayWith our friends or family -Take a moment to give thanks toThose who died so we'd stay free.

Let us strive for world peace -For the end of greed and hate -For next time, after "the war"It just may be too damned late.
