Joining my American friends on this day, to remember all those soldiers that have fallen whether in the defense of your country, the establishment of democracy or the preservation of freedom throughout the world.
Memorial Day© 2001 Luke, 3rd Grader, Academy Elementary School, Madison, Connecticut.
Remember the brave soldiers who gave their lives
For our freedom,
God Bless them all these courageous
Men and women.
They fought on land,
Others at sea,
Sacrificing their lives for
You and me.
Schools and offices respect these heroes
From the past,
By flying our beautiful flag
At half-mast.
As you watch the parade and hear
The trumpets play,
Please think about what we celebrate on
Memorial Day.
