My Memorial Day Poem
“A hero is someone who has given his or her life
to something bigger than oneself.”
Joseph Campbell
to something bigger than oneself.”
Joseph Campbell
For centuries soldiers die
In the name of freedom
From all around the World
Mothers, daughters, sons and fathers
Mourn from wars death toll
The greatest thing the human race
Must accomplish is right now
To end all wars and live in peace
In hopes that all the lives war took
Were not lives that died in vain
We celebrate on Memorial Day
To honor all the fallen
They made the ultimate sacrifice
For all of us still living
We dedicate this day to say
Don’t forget all the lives that have fallen

Freedom of Speech
“Restriction of free thought and free speech
is the most dangerous of all subversions.
It is the one un-American act
that could most easily defeat us.”
William O. Douglas
