This day that comes around and we have parties and BBQ each year

We are at the beach, lake or by the pool eating and drinking a cold beer

But do we really know what it means or do some even care

To most out there it’s only a day off work so I have something to share

I thought I would share what this day really is all about

It’s about why we all have the right to live a great life and our dreams we can carry out

You see Memorial Day is really not a very happy day

But a day to honor the fallen in a patriotic somber way

We all should take time to honor those who for our freedom gave their own life

Today we honor the soldiers that died storming a beach or maybe in a jungle or desert fight

Thousands of our fighting forces have given their life for us to live free

So they deserve this special day to be honored by you and me

From My World to Yours,
Bob Baker
