Memorial Day, 2016: “Forgotten Heroes”

May 27, 2016 By Fred Black

Share This On:


Thank you to all our veterans, past, present, living, and deceased, especially on this Memorial Day, 2016 as we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for this great country.

Until we pass the tipping point, where we as patriots, are willing to step up and make sacrifices for this country, we will not stop the liberal progressive agenda that’s infecting not only our country, but all westernized countries.  We have to be willing to defend our freedom.  Don’t let the price paid in blood for our freedom be wasted, don’t let the socialists win, we have to take action and stop them.  Don’t let our freedom be forgotten.

Lyrics:

Some just refuse to understand
That it’s the measure of a man
To defend this country’s land
Even when it’s down to his last stand
He doesn’t do it for himself

We’ve been knocked down before
Watched our blood spill on the floor
But then it was for a cause
Some say balanced what was lost
But now we question what’s left

[Chorus]
But you know that time erases
So many of the delicate traces
Of the battles we’ve waged
Of the prices we’ve paid
For the right to a life of freedom

Where few are born in a land that’s free
We are fortunate to be
If you think it’s a gift that’s free
Someone will take it from you and me
And crush the dreams we once sought

Our grandparent’s blood paved the way
For what America is today
I look around and see the waste
I’m ashamed for all they gave
So many have forgot

[Chorus]
But you know that time erases
So many of the delicate traces
Of the battles we’ve waged
Of the prices we’ve paid
For the right to a life of freedom

[bridge]
You can read their names on the wall
Engraved in stone they gave their all
Lying in graves row after row
They held the line for the freedom we know
And take for granted

[Final Chorus]
But you know that time erases
The names of heroes and their faces
Don’t forget what they gave
Their sacrifices made
For the right to a life of freedom
For freedom
