1. We Honor the Dead by Helping the Living
Freedom's Call
They are called to be in uniform
to serve both day and night
protecting our great country
to fight the valiant fight
To rescue us from danger
at home — across the sea
brave and special people
who keep our nation free
And together on a mission
our heroes, they are there
every color — every creed
with freedom's light to share
And day by day — step by step
all for one and one for all
our heroes stand together strong
to answer freedom's call.
Erected by Garland Anderson VFW Post 5250.
