In honor of Jason D. Johns PFC, Army 82nd Airborne and all of our fallen men and women in uniform...
No one could know, In the silence of your heart and mind
The moment when such a selfless decision was first born
A decision to commit...A decision to train... A decision to serve
...the many millions who would never know your name
No one could know, In the silence of your heart and mind
The feelings that flooded you, as you said goodbye to those you loved
A decision to commit…A decision to train...A decision to serve
...the many millions who would never know your name
No one could know, In the silence of your heart and mind
What you must have felt, as you first landed and stepped upon that foreign soil
A decision to commit...A decision to train...A decision to serve
...the many millions who would never know your name
No one could know, In the silence of your heart and mind
What you went through on the battlefield, as you watched a brother fall
A decision to commit...A decision to train...A decision to serve
...the many millions who would never know your name
No one could know, In the silence of your heart and mind
When a fatal shot you received, and tender private thoughts flowed through you
A decision to commit...A decision to train...A decision to serve
...the many millions who would never know your name
Because of you...
Young dreamers continue to have their dreams
Lovers plan their futures and embrace new lives together
The laughter of our children fills the air on this Memorial Day
Silent Soldier….
...We remember you
...We honor you
...We Thank You
