The Honored Fallen

As we celebrate this Memorial Day, let us never forget the ultimate sacrifice given by those hundreds of thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmen who gave their lives for our freedom. In their memory and for all those families who have lost a hero, this 2007 beautiful song by Tim McGraw is for you:

"If You're Reading This"

If you're reading this
My Mommas sittin there
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
Sure I wish
Could give you one more kiss
And war was just a game we played when we were kids

I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God and we're both watching over you

So lay me down
In that open field on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma always prayed
That it would go
And if you're reading this
I'm already home

If you're reading this
Half way around the world
I won't be there
To see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you I hope she fights like me
Stand up for the innocent and the weak

I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
Tell Dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes

So lay me down
In that open field on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma always prayed
That it would go
And if you're reading this
I'm already home

God bless America.
