We walked among the crosses  
Where our fallen soldiers lay.  
And listened to the bugle  
As TAPS began to play.  
The Chaplin led a prayer  
We stood with heads bowed low.  
And I thought of fallen comrades  
I had known so long ago.  
They came from every city  
Across this fertile land.  
That we might live in freedom.  
They lie here ‘neath the sand.  
I felt a little guilty  
My sacrifice was small.  
I only lost a little time  
But these men lost their all.  
Now the services are over  
For this Memorial Day.  
To the names upon these crosses  
I just want to say,  
Thanks for what you’ve given  
No one could ask for more.  
May you rest with God in heaven  
From now through evermore.
