World War II and everyone has tales to tell.
Often, they remember a soldier who fell.
December 7, Pearl Harbor, beaches of Normandy,
Date and places, woven into our country’s history.
Some have war stories they can’t even repeat.
Battles won, our troops wouldn’t accept defeat.
Each branch of service did more than their part.
Many a Veteran returned with a Purple Heart.
The Greatest Generation with many heroes to name.
Yet none of these brave warriors wanted that fame.
They proudly served under the red, white and blue.
Today, we honor you, we thank you, we remember you.
