Memorial Day Reminder

Just sharing, sometimes adults forget the real reasons for holidays as well.  (Here's why we celebrate Memorial Day)  Looking for lessons for the holiday, and found this link to send the troops a thank you.  And another one here.   Also, a short version of the story of the Star Spangled Banner.  Here's a longer one.

The Unknown Soldier

You need not ever know my name
This unknown soldier seeks no fame

I'm here to bring out thought from you
May your heart see more than your view

America, we marched with pride
We gave our life, for you we died

How well we knew the time might come
When life could sound that final drum

Please think of us as life moves on
We tried so hard till that last dawn

Do let our spirit fill the land
Pass treasured freedom, hand to hand

God blessed this country with such love
Hold in your heart, abundance of

And when you stand before my grave
Think not of one, but each who gave
