Pearl Harbor

I think of those who died for me,
Who gave their lives for liberty,
Whose graves are found on distant shores
Their young lives lost in freedom's wars.

I feel the loss of those cut down -
The gloom and tears in some small town
When fearful word of snuffed-out lives
Dashed the hopes and dreams of wives.

I see their ghosts . . . I hear their call,
Grim spirits pained but standing tall,
"Remember us - we died for you,
Make sure our land stays just and true."

RIP all those lost that day and in the days proceeding and following that day in defense of the country.

My gran's brother got killed by a U-Boot around that time, - perhaps a year earlier. He was never found (the guywas a fisherman).
So did my grandad's cousin. he was never found AFAIK.
Those events are to be remembered.
