In memory of all who have served and given their lives for this nation. (Form: Sedoka)
The Greatest Gift


I give you this gift –
asking only a flag-draped
resting place and your prayers.

Into your strong hands
I place faith in the future
of a free and just nation.


Notes:
In loving memory of all who have served and given their lives for this nation.
