Memorial Day 2008

Tony Jingo
As the poppies dot the field of grass.
It is you I salute as the Honor Guard makes the pass.

Your memory is forged in my heart.
You made the ultimate sacrifice! I can at least do my part.

Your memory in my prayers will never miss.
I thank you for my Freedom, I thank you for this.

Until He turns swords into the cutting part of the plow,
I remain here with my right hand crisp across my brow.
