Memorial Day

[hops_scout 9]

I knew a man called him Sam 'the Cane'

Few folks even knew his name

But a hero yes was he

He left a boy, came back a man

Still many just don't understand

About the reasons we are free

I can't forget the look in his eyes

Or the tears he cried

As he said these words to me chorus:

 

Chrous:

All gave some, some gave all

Some stood through for the red, white and blue

. . and some had to fall

And if you ever think of me

Think of all your liberties and recall

Some gave all

 

Now Sam 'the Cane' is no longer here

But his words are oh so clear

As they echo throughout our land

For all his friends who gave us all

Who stood the ground and took the fall

To help their fellow man

Love your country, live with pride

And don't forget those who died

America can't you see?

 

Chrous:

All gave some, some gave all

Some stood through for the red, white and blue

. . and some had to fall

And if you ever think of me

Think of all your liberties and recall

Some gave all

I would just like to thank all of those Americans who have served and are currently serving in our armed forces. It is you who make America what it is. When i see the American flag on my shoulder on my Scout uniform i feel a sense of pride that can only come from being an American. Because of our brave men and women who have served and are serving our country, America is truly the greatest country in the world! Thank you service men and women for making America What it is!

When you see a vet, thank him/her for your freedom.
