Memorial Day, a Poem by Alfred Joyce Kilmer

Memorial Day
By Alfred Joyce Kilmer

“Dulce et decorum est”

The bugle echoes shrill and sweet,
But not of war it sings to-day.
The road is rhythmic with the feet
Of men-at-arms who come to pray.

The roses blossom white and red
On tombs where weary soldiers lie;
Flags wave above the honored dead
And martial music cleaves the sky.

Above their wreath-strewn graves we kneel,
They kept the faith and fought the fight.
Through flying lead and crimson steel
They plunged for Freedom and the Right.

May we, their grateful children, learn
Their strength, who lie beneath this sod,
Who went through fire and death to earn
At last the accolade of God.

In shining rank on rank arrayed
They march, the legions of the Lord;
He is their Captain unafraid,
The Prince of Peace . . . Who brought a sword.

We’re Celebrating Memorial Day!

We take this moment to remember and reflect on the lives that so many brave servicemen and servicewomen sacrificed for our country. Although on Memorial Day we salute our fallen soldiers, we also want to take this opportunity to thank all of the veterans who served our country and  to all of our service personnel  continuing to serve and defend the rights and freedom that we often take for granted in the U.S.

We want to say THANK YOU and we appreciate you. We won’t and cannot forget what you did and continue to do for the United States of America!
