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."

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.
