WE WILL NOT FORGET YOU

You do not lie in Flanders Field where all the poppies grow

You do not lie at Arlington where tombstones stand in rows

You never walked again upon the land you served with pride

You do not know the tears that flowed as friends and family cried

So many years have passed and still you are not home

We do not know if you live or where on earth you roam

We do not know if your body lies in soil on foreign lands

Or if you still are tortured by the enemy's barbaric hands

Some gave some and some gave all and some still give today

And on this Veterans Day it is for you I choose to pray

You have not been forgotten nor the sacrifice you made

My greatest fear is that you continue to sacrifice today

Your brothers and your countrymen demand that you be found

If nothing more than to bring you home to lie in hallowed ground

The flag of black and white still flutters in the breeze

Today on Veterans Day I salute you on bended knee

May our love to you be carried on winds across this land

And may our Creator hold you in the palm of His blessed hand

Years will come and years will go and still we won't forget

Until we find or account for each and every missing Vet

Veterans Day 2005
