A Memorial Day poem for our heroes who sacrificed so much - a poem of remembrance.

A remarkable patriotism
And superior valor

Towards entrusted
And glorious
Team efforts;

To emerge victorious
And confident amid
Barbaric struggles
In wartime,
During tours of duty
In distant theaters;
Some of the most epic battles
In historic and geopolitical conflicts;

For this inveterate planet,
And stellar nation
This Memorial Day…

In thankful and gritty construction
Of America’s freedom, liberty,
And prosperous principles

Entirely ensconced
In the nation’s
Unwavering spirit.
An awesome convergence
Of geared
And faithful alliance
To remember
The immense contributions
Of our unforgettable warriors.

Well-trained, incredible troops and fighters
Who perished during wartime engagements
And operations of strategic military calculation

A lifetime of service
Bestowing Americans with their blithe freedoms
And a cognizant awareness
Of the grace and mercy of democracy,

Per the construction,
Protection, and conditions
Prescribed by our Constitution,
And screamed forth in the undying principles
Of legal and moral and epic understanding -
And prescriptive precedents -
Of those armed forces service persons
Who made the ultimate sacrifice

In historic opposition
Battling the calculations
Of those vile enemy nations
And groups,
Standing against our individual liberties
And rights;

America’s warriors fighting back
And defending our shores
With their awesome acts
Of courage,

Unbelievable determination -

Swift ratification
Of our legality and frugal ethics -

International authority -

And our dream-like way of life
And existence…
