From the War Of Independence to the War of 1812 when we gave melodic tribute to our American flag, we have have honored our fighting men throughout the years and most especially on Memorial Day. War has been a large part of America's struggle through the years and our soldiers have been brave throughout. So in honor of our war dead here is a lyric from a song I wrote last year. It is called "Some Gave All"-- an appropiate tribute on this great. God Bless America!
SOME GAVE ALL

Some gave all
All gave some
Fought the fight
Will burn the light!
Till freedom’s won!
Some gave life
All gave time
Most gave love
Still rise above
Both will and mind
Sometimes a fight is called for
You’re simply not prepared for!
Some folks will never understand

Some gave all
All gave some
Fought the fight
Will burn the light!
Till freedom’s won!
Some gave life
All gave time
Most gave love
Still rise above
Both will and mind
Sometimes a fight is called for
You’re simply not prepared for!
Some folks will never understand
That freedom needs defending
There’s just no use pretending
Freedom is an easy prey
When you put its might away
In the drawers of yesterday
Some still give
The fight goes on
If right makes might
Then freedom’s light
Will shine each dawn
Some will yell
Some will scream
“It’s not our fight”
“It’s just not right”
“It’s not our dream!”
Sometimes a fight is called for
You’re simply not prepared for!
Some folks will never understand
That freedom needs defending
There’s just no use pretending
Freedom simply will not stay
When you put its might away
In the drawers of yesterday
The time is here
The cause is now
Don’t run away
And try to say
There’s too much cost
Some gave life
All gave time
Most gave love
And rose above
Both will and mind
Yes, some gave all
