Dedicated to the memory of these men and women from Oregon so their sacrifice will never be forgotten

Oh, could our fallen brothers
know the honor they helped bring
to God, and to our country,
to their memory now we sing.
You gave your lives for Freedom,
for your families, and for friends,
and for that you have our special love
and a thanks that never ends.

If God gives grace to warriors
serving in his holy name,
if a special place in Heaven waits
for those, who in honor came,
then those who served with honor
on that far Korean shore,
will have his grace and a special place
when they stand at Heaven’s door.
