Forgotten Heroes
Photographed By Devry Becker Jones (CC0), December 30, 2023
Of all the wars gone by,
Let each of us be grateful
For our "heroes" you and I.
They gave their all that we may live
In a country good and free,
"Lest we forget" they did it all
For the likes of you and me.
Remember the "heroes"
Who fought our wars
And kept "Old Glory" flying;
Those who gave their utmost
And saved us all from dying.

Special thanks to the Elkton Kiwanis and the Knights of Columbus whose funding made this statue and podium possible.
