Tribute to Our Soldiers

On Memorial Day, sending THANKS and GRATITUDE

to those who are or have bravely served our country.

The images are vintage postcards published about 1909

by Raphael Tuck & Sons,

"Decoration Day" Series of Post Cards, No. 158.

The sentiments are printed on the face of this postcard series 

but the message rings true today as well.

And never may they rest unsung

While Liberty can find a tongue.

For us their precious lives they gave,

For Freedom's sacred cause they died.

Their Memory shines like a radiant star

O'er the land they died to save.

Ah! Never shall the land forget

How gushed the life-blood of the brave!

Let the stars and stripes be waving

O'er their generous sacrifice.

And blazoned on the scroll of fame

Shall shine each martyred soldier's name.

Until next time, live and love well.
