Our Lady of Freedom

I wrote this six or seven years ago. It has been put to video and shared by many people. I wanted to share it with you again today in memory of our fallen heroes.  It's called:Our Lady of Freedom  By: Philip Damon
Born in conflict this nation was,A hope for the world to see.A fight for freedom from tyranny’s jaws,By a people who must be free.A nation to be ruled by a people as one,No matter what the cost.So off we sent our daughters and sons,That this freedom would not be lost.Freedom called, the nations bled,As evil played its hand.So America took this world and ledThe charge on foreign sand.From France to England to the Philippines,Our nation rose as one.An army of boys still in their teens,Sacrificed all ‘til freedom was won.Terror struck our heart one day,And mothers learned to weep.Then American’s rose with one voice to say,“Our freedom we will keep!”Through wars and strife our flag yet stands,Its stars and stripes revealed.Not on our knees nor on our handsWill this nation ever yield!Remember today the cost that was paid,The price for freedoms held dear.Many bodies in graves were laid,So that our citizens would never fear.Tyrants and rulers hide in terror,As America raises her fists.This lady is our standard-bearerFlag held by unbending wrists.Through wars and strife our flag yet stands,Its stars and stripes revealed.Not on our knees nor on our handsWill this nation ever yield!
