Newark in New Castle County, Delaware — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Forgotten Heroes
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.
