Just another opinion on Memorial Day.
Eight more names added to the day.
A time we remember in this month of May.
Six gone in an explosion of fire and sand,
two more shot down, their bird unable to land.
Names unreleased, families happy and unaware.
Soon knocks on their door delivering death and despair.
Baseball, picnics, parades and celebrations,
eight more names added to the blood of a nation.
