the American Hero
Gregory Ramos 1961 (Azusa)
the American hero who did not get the parade
who left his dog tags on the field
who's weapon fired his last round
who now rests on holy ground
for the ultimate price they paid
in my heart i have a place everyday
i remember the ones who did
and the family members who do
to make America free for me and you
it is not just a day , we should kneel down
and pray , for the warriors who are out in
the field fighting for the flag of freedom
we'll cherish those we've lost
and their gift to us , the total cost
this Memorial Day take a moment and pray
