Heroes Ever Day by Richard Maxfield 3-31-2000 Amidst the faceless crosses Where heroes rest in peace Swelling pride and sadness Sacrifices made for me In the steaming jungle Freezing winter snow On the desert sand Hedge rows, row on row Through the choking smoke On the raging sea Valiant souls of heroes Gave all for you and me Once not so long ago They lived, love and cried Hope, dreams, and plans All they laid aside To a distant shore Served our country’s pride Fought and saved our freedom Gave all they had inside When you think of freedom Hold your head so high Sons, fathers and husbands Spirit set free to fly We all owe a debit No one can ever repay Keep the memories fresh Of heroes every day copyright #RM99R4Birth sign: Gemini
