Memorial Day is more than just a time for picnics and camping. I wrote this a few years ago. I still go and put flowers on the graves like I did with my great grams when I was a little girl. It is good to remember all the lives that have gone before you and molded the life you now live. Many Blessings Mary
I Am An American By: SunRae copyright Nov.2002
I am an American One of the privileged few And as an American I have a job to do
Fight for a way of life Known as democracy Forge thru trial and strife Against our enemies hipocrasy
I am an American And proud to be You can not torture, maim Or kill the pride inside of me
Red, white, and blue glory Flying high for all to see I am a soldier protecting Your right to be free
A veteran of the vigil I kept for lasting peace A prisoner of war who made it to release
I am a hero in The hearts of many I am a tomb of the unknown In timeless infamy
Next time your hand crosses your Heart and watches the colors fly See my face in the stars along with all my brethern who have died
I am a vetern who has seen More than most can endure I come from every land I have walked every shore
I am an American Look and you will see The pride, honor and love For my country inside of me
