| Walking Through The Memories | 
|
| The peace they fought for is right here
Between the rows of crosses
They died to save our freedom
They're numbered among our losses
Although they came from far and wide
This place is now their home
A peaceful, final resting place
Where they'll never be alone
And I'm walking through the memories
Where honor knows no end
That unmarked grave is special
For I know that he's my friend
We were comrades on a foreign shore
Buddies to the end
In the distance I hear a bugle call
As I stroll alone with God
Its haunting voice is singing "Taps"
For those beneath the sod.
And I'm walking through the memories
Of those who gave it all
Walking, walking, walking
Past graves both old and new
Their sun has set, their day is done
They were the chosen few
We salute and pay our tribute
Flags and flowers all abound
They all came back to make their home
In this hallowed ground
And I'm walking through the memories
Of those who gave their all
Yes, I'm walking through the memories
Where honor knows no end. | By Cordell Keith Haugen
