Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI looked at him in uniform Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI thought how many men like him Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers' tears?
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketHow many pilots' planes shot down? Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI heard the sound of Taps one night, Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI wondered just how many times Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
That Taps had meant "Amen,"
When a flag had draped a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI thought of all the children, Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.

At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.
