Lets take a moment to remember the fallen hero's of this great land.  Until September 11, 2001 that was predominately looked at as the military.  Today this view has changed.  It is now includes the fallen Firefighters, Law enforcement personnel, and even the innocent people who died from one of the single most tragedies in US history.

FREEDOMS' MEMORIAL

by Del "Abe" Jones [Copyright, 1991]
From his book of poetry, "THE WORLD, WAR, FREEDOM, AND MORE."
 

 



This day is set aside
           to honor those
                    who took the chance to die.
 

But they have died in vain
           if we ever forget
                    the reason why.
 

Freedom can be like time
           slipping away
                    before we even know.
 

But we all have the choice
           more, a duty
                    to battle freedoms' foe.
 

Let us give thanks this day
           to all those brave
                    who paid the highest cost.
 

Not take it for granted
           and realize
                    it easily could be lost.
