"The Final Roll Call"

We Thought of you with love today

But that is nothing new

We thought about you yesterday

And days before that too

We think of you in silence

We often speak your name

Now all we have are memories

And your pictures in a frame

Your memory is our keepsake

For which we'll never part

God has you in His keeping

We have you in our heart

May God Bless you and your loved ones for what you have done for your country
