| I would like to share this Memorial Day poem with all of you.<br/> <br/> <b>A Memorial Day Poem</b><br/> By C W Johnson<br/> <br/> We walked among the crosses<br/> Where our fallen soldiers lay.<br/> And listened to the bugle<br/> As TAPS began to play.<br/> <br/> The Chaplin led a prayer<br/> We stood with heads bowed low.<br/> And I thought of fallen comrades<br/> I had known so long ago.<br/> <br/> They came from every city<br/> Across this fertile land.<br/> That we might live in freedom.<br/> They lie here 'neath the sand.<br/> <br/> I felt a little guilty<br/> My sacrifice was small.<br/> I only lost a little time<br/> But these men lost their all.<br/> <br/> Now the services are over<br/> For this Memorial Day.<br/> To the names upon these crosses<br/> I just want to say,<br/> <br/> Thanks for what you've given<br/> No one could ask for more.<br/> May you rest with God in heaven<br/> From now through evermore<br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| Don & Ed,<br/> <br/> Every time I think of my father and all the other men and women who gave so much it still hurts and I hope no one forgets their sacrifices.<br/> <br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| Don & Ed,<br/> <br/> Quite often when I see a man with a cap on who is obviously a vet....I try to walk up to them and say thank you. <br/> <br/> They often seem surprised and that is a shame. So to any and all vets who may read this today....Thank you from the bottom of my heart.<br/> <br/> And to the families that supported them and especially to the families that lost a loved one.....know that we care more than any poem or words could ever express.<br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| Just resurrecting this thread so that we can, once again, remember our those who sacrificed and give them one big <img src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/salute_smiley.gif' style='height: 1em; vertical-align: middle;' /> for their services. <br/> <br/> Ed. <br/><br/><a href='/p2769.ashx'><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/wmSig401st150p.gif' /></a><br/> <br/>

| I thank God for all of our veterans; how very different things would be without them and all that they did.  <br/> <br/> Jean, proudly and humbly Vern's daughter <br/><br/><br/>
