And after the parades...



A smile in heart for the NOW perceived
From the words of soulful gratitude conceived
PRAISE to Our Veterans for all they defend
Sacrifices beyond what we may comprehend
In word and song, tribute, dedication, honor be heard
And touched we BE by waves of sentiments and WORD
Memorial Day, 2015, in community, remembrance and acclaim
PEACE, BROTHERHOOD, FREEDOM, called in GOD'S name.
