I Came To Visit You Today

I came to visit you today
To place this flag next to your grave.
The sacrifices you have made
Will forever be indebted this day.
Memorial Day Poems
Poems for Memorial Day
Memorial Day has come to mean the beginning of summer, a time for picnics and barbecues, and a holiday to gather around the family. That happiness and freedom, however, is a product of the real cause for the holiday: the sacrifice made by men and women who have fought and died for the freedoms and liberties Americans hold dear. Memorial Day is a time to remember that the American way of life is not cheap but rather has been purchased by the lives and blood of so many who have sacrificed for us to live free and happily now.
