In Remembrance
In fields of honor, brave souls rest,
Their sacrifice, our nation’s crest.
They stood so tall, they stood so strong,
Their courage lives, their memory long.
They fought for freedom, they fought for right,
They battled darkness, they battled night.
Through pain and sorrow, they carried on,
With love for country, they were drawn.
They left behind their families dear,
With heavy hearts and silent tears.
Their names forever etched in stone,
Their spirit, in our hearts, is known.
So, on this day, we gather near,
To honor them, to shed a tear.
We thank them for their selfless deed,
And vow to never let their memory recede.

Who answered bravely, duty’s call.
Their legacy will never fade away,
On this Memorial Day, we humbly say.
Remembering the Fallen
We gather here on this sacred day,
To honor those who’ve passed away.
Their sacrifice we can’t repay,
But in our hearts, their memory will stay.
They fought with courage, they fought with might,
Protecting freedom, defending what’s right.
Through battles fought, through the darkest night,
They gave their all, with unwavering sight.
Their names are etched in history’s page,
Their stories told from age to age.
We remember their valor, their unwavering rage,
And on this day, we solemnly engage.
With gratitude and respect, we bow our heads,
For the heroes now among the blessed.
Their sacrifice will not be forgotten,
On this Memorial Day, forever enshrined and set.
