Anniversaries are days to remember

So what do we have to forget?

Things that should not have ever happened

By Fate's hand is set

It should not have happened

If he were not there

Sandwich in one hand

He was totally unaware

Not only our soldiers

Who fought for their mates

Felt the horror as bullets

Flew right past their heads

The families at home

Hoping each day

That their sons would return

Each painful day after day

Each passing generation

Seem to forget

That they have it real easy

Compared to all that

Computers to keep in touch

With family they do not see

Phones to speak with

Loved ones not free

We will remember them; 

Lest we forget
