(Monument - Friendship Cemetery)- They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
- Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
- They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
- They fell with their faces to the foe.
- They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
- Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
- At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
- We will remember them

Stopping by from Dorothy's blog, such a wonderful reminder of how we are able to enjoy the freedom we are given.
Beautiful poem, Glenda! Thanks for the reminder of the meaning of this holiday weekend!
Hi Glenda, A beautiful post. My gratitude to your husband and son for their service and dedication to our country. Wishing you a blessed weekend.
Our veterans are so special. How blessed and fortunate we are to know so many who have served...going back several generations. We should never forget!
Wonderful tribute. I did a tribute also. I think it's very important to acknowledge these special men and women and voice our gratefulness.
Beautiful poem. I hope you had a great Memorial Day.
I love the previous post - the picture and the thoughts as well - and the song, as usual!
