A/N: I wrote this tonight for a few reasons. The main reason though was because I'm tired of people seeing Memorial Day as a day for sales or BBQs or just plain relaxing. Men and women died for America and Memorial Day is in honor of them. Without them our freedoms would be nonexistent.
The day most people take as holiday
The day to BBQ, shop, and play.
Not seeing the sacrifice others made
Or the lives taken so the cost would be paid.
Lives taken in these places so unknown
On sand, dirt, even on stone.
In the struggle for freedom and the American dream
Fought the amazing and brave US team.
Our troops and soldiers struggled through strife
Just trying to make it to morning's first light.
A brotherhood that will be formed
And living together as the norm
They protect and serve us each and everyday
And honor those gone on this Memorial Day.
