Memorial Day Poem

There are so many men and women who have served in a war.

They all left their families and served in countries afar.

All the soldiers left not knowing if they would come home again.

I know war life was sure difficult for those women and men.

All the soldiers in Vietnam were able to sleep in their own bed.

Every day they ate hot meals; each soldier was well fed.

In World War 1 some soldiers were trapped behind enemy lines.

A very effective anti-submarine weapon was mines.

There were so many men; civilians too who lost their lives.

All the soldiers were great heroes to their children and wives.

In the Korean War, many soldiers had frostbitten toes.

Enemies will not always see when the soldiers shot their foes.

US soldiers won the Battle of the Bulge, they did their best.

In the Arlington cemetery, soldiers are laid to rest.

The Tomb of the Unknown soldier honors soldiers who have died.

All of these soldiers remains have not been identified.

In all of these wars, the soldiers fought hard, each and every one.

In the number of deaths in Vietnam, Americans won.

In Arlington, a monument honors those who gave their all.

All of the soldiers' names are written on a black granite wall.
