Happy Memorial Day!! God Bless America

I wrote a poem for Memorial Day in honor of the brave men and women of the United States military that kept freedom ringing and paid the ultimate sacrifice, so we and future generations may enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. My grandfather, Collis Jordan was a Major in the Allied Air Force and my stepfather, Donald "Doc" MacDonald was a corporal in the U.S. Army. Both of them were in World War II. They didn't die while serving our country but nonetheless they served our country. By crazy coincidence, I found a authentic World War II Corporal uniform (pictured below) at the Salvation Army here in Key West and got it for free!  May they and the many men and woman who sacrificed their own life to ensure that we have a better one, Rest In Peace. God Bless America!

MEMORIAL DAY



They paid the price

The ultimate sacrifice

The cost of freedom

Is not free

Honor the ones we love

And lost



War torn scars

Willing to fight

For what you

Enjoy today

Sleep in peace tonight

As they rest for eternity                                               



God bless the soldiers

Who gave their life

We owe ours to them

They kept and keep

Our creed

Home of the brave

Land of the free



Stand as tall and strong

As the Statue of Liberty

Give thanks to the soldiers

That defend our honor

And belief                                                   
                                                   Authentic World War II Corporal uniform


God bless them

And their families

Giving children a chance

To realize their dreams

Because of them

America continues to be

Home of the brave

And the land of the free



Happy Memorial Day
