Memorial Day
Salute the veterans of war
Think of the soldiers' heart
Credit the esprit de corps
Trace their state of the art
Salute the veterans of war
Think of the soldiers' prize
Credit the aggressive lore
Trace their manifest guise
Salute the veterans of war
Think of the soldiers' love
Credit the partisan score
Trace their critical shove
Salute the veterans of war
Think of the soldiers' role
Credit the facing of gore
Trace their intrepid goal
Salute the veterans of war
Think of the soldiers' skill
Credit the vigorous core
Trace their persistent will
Salute the veterans of war
Think of the soldiers' hope
Credit the fortified shore
Trace their inclusive scope
