Rest, comrades, rest and sleep!
The thoughts of men shall be
As sentinels to keep
Your rest from danger free.
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours.

On this Memorial Day
It's not about parades and picnics
It's not about sales and shopping
It's not about a trip to the beach.
Or the beginning of the summer season.
It's about honor. And sacrifice.
And remembering those who
gave their lives for freedom.
Mine and yours.
To the men and women currently serving in
the Armed Forces of the United States of America,
and to the veterans who have honorably served
this nation, may God bless and keep you always!
Thank you for my freedom.

To the men and women whom are no longer with us,
may you rest and sleep in eternal peace.
