The Greatest Generation
We call them "the Greatest Generation."
I believe it is rightly so!
They have been a blessing to our nation!
Now it is sad to see them go.

One by one they are leaving,
Creating an empty space.
Friends and loved ones now are grieving,
Longing once more to see their face.

Unselfishly they gave their all,
Supplying our nation's need.
Without hesitation they answered freedom's call!
They are our heroes indeed!

For love of God, family, and the U.S.A.,
They "laid their lives on the line."
So, a debt of gratitude we must pay,
For our liberties, yours and mine.

So, let us give them the honor that is due,
With a thankful salute as they walk by!
Friend, it is now up to me and you,
Whether freedom will live or die.
