Tribute to Dad and all who Graciously Serve

Dad on bottom row, far left with his comrades of the 489th Bomber Group
 

I am a daughter



and a veteran's biggest fan



Dad was only twenty-two



what a brave, courageous man



He fought the good fight



so we could live free



All those in uniform



sacrificed dearly for me



His missions were flown



over Germany and France



So we could enjoy freedom



and have half a chance



Thirteen missions flown



by the eighth Army Air-Force



Halesworth, England



would be there 'said course'



Many close calls



would threaten their day



They kept persevering



and made sure to pray



Remember to thank those



who fought despite fear



Not only on Memorial day



but everyday of the year
