Memorial Day Weekend

[p47koji]

So who has their flag out to honor our fallen this Memorial Day weekend? After all, isn't this what it's all about?

Fallen Hero
© By Danny M. Underwood

I stare at the casket;
Draped with the nation's cloth.

I'm momentarily startled;
As the guns go off.

Another fallen soldier;
Being laid to rest.

I struggle to breathe;
For this tightness in my chest.

The bugler so smooth;
As he hits every note.

It is hard to swallow;
Because of this lump in my throat.

Tears fall like rain;
As I look to the sky.

No matter how many times I hear it;
Taps still makes me cry.

The bugle now silent;
As we pray for the dead.

I gather myself;
As I bow down my head.

Lord bless these heroes;
Who have given their lives.

Comfort their children;
Their husbands and wives.

Let us not forget;
They have given their all.

Let the bugle be silent;
Let no more soldiers fall.

Our colors have been flying everday sense I've gotten out of service. That was 23 years ago.

Our flag is proudly on display for the week end. I am not a vet, my lottery number was high enough in 1970-1971 that I was not called. I thank those that have served and those that serve now.
