Vacations and the Indy A holiday, too often times We forget what, it should be. A time to pay respect to those Who rallied to the battle cry Who gave their lives for liberty Those freedoms for you and I. Such a waste of brave young souls - Some still struggling through their youth Who faced and fell willingly Before wartimes’ awful truth. So as we share this holiday With our friends or family Take a moment to give thanks to Those who died so we’d stay free. Let us strive for world peace For the end of greed and hate For next time, after “the war” It just may be too damned late. Copyright © Del Abe Jones Used with permission
