As we stand here looking At the flags upon these graves
Know these flags represent A few of the true American brave


They fought for their Country As man has through all of time
Except that these soldiers lying here Fought for your country and mine

I'm sure that they would do it If it were me or you
To show we did not die in vain But for the red, white and blue.

Let's pass on to our children And to those who never knew
What these soldiers died for It's the least we can do

Let's not forget their families Great pain they had to bear
Losing a son, father or husband They need to know we still care

No matter which war was fought On the day that they died
I stand here looking at these flags Filled with American pride.

So as the bugler plays out Taps With its sweet and eerie sound
Pray for these soldiers lying here In this sacred, hallowed ground.

Take home with you a sense of pride You were here Memorial Day.
Celebrating the way Americans should On this solemnest of days.

Remember all the brave men and women
who fought for our freedom
