Memorial Day Gift to the Fallen...

Good evening everyone,

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day and hope that you enjoyed your time off, if you were off, with your family and friends. I've enjoyed my day and just wanted to thank all of the men and women in the military, who risk their lives or who have risked their lives so that we may have the freedom that's often taken for granted.

I came across this shorty story by Charlie Gragg entitled "Our Gift to the Fallen" and thought that I would share it with everyone. Once again Happy Memorial Day and have a blessed evening.

Our Gift to the Fallen

A Short Poem by Charlie Gragg

Penryn, California

For each soldier that has fallen so that many may stand

We honor their spirit as they pass to God's hand

For without their sacrifice we would live forever in fear

We pray for their loved ones and provide a salute and a tear

God help us heal the wounds of hate and the misery of war

That is our gift to our fallen heroes that are amongst us no more.

Our Gift to the Fallen
