In Memory Of My Uncles
For those who fight on distant shore,
Who give without a word;
Defending us with honor,
So gallantly they serve.
For every boy who leaves his home,
Returning here a man;
And every woman who made a choice,
To make serving part of her plan.
For every fallen soldier,
Who gave all they could give;
To guarantee our liberty,
And the freedom that we live.
Each one who served with honor,
The brave, the tried, the true;
America gives it thanks,
For we see a hero in you.
