"To Those Who Gave Us Freedom"

From the watery grave of the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor
Her oil still bubbles to the surface as if she is crying for her crew
From Punchbowl Cemetery where many now lay in peace
To those that now lie where they fell


From the trenches of World War One
To the beaches of Normandy France in World War II
From Wake Island to Bataan and Corregidor
Where thousands died in a special hell to keep us free


From the Chosin Reservoir in Korea
To the port of Pusan and back to Inchon
From Kae Sahn to the Mekong Delta
Thousands fought in unpopular wars and died


From the Gulf war to retake Kuwait
Where the ground war lasted only 100 hours
From the attacks on our homeland that killed thousands
To a new kind of warfare against terror
They are all honored on this day
