M  elancholy notes from "Taps" is played by a lone bugler.
E 
loquently, the song pays tribute to those who were there.
M  en in uniform salute, tears running down their faces.
O  vercome with emotion, they silently remember.
R  emembering battles fought, recalling each friendship made.
I 
ntimate with death, they learned painful lessons about life.
A  ll gave something, but some of them paid the ultimate price.
L  egions of heroes is who we are honoring today.

D 
efenders of freedom,
A  vailable at a moment's notice...
Y 
es, I remember...and I am grateful.

The man,
with the gun in hand,
saves the land.
Not the no war,
afraid of a scar,
stay way afar,
people.

A great piece. Thanks l&p G
