Some gave all.

I am taking the day off from Not Me Monday, to remember those who gave their life for this country. I am the grand-daughter of a US Navy Salior, the daughter of a US Army Solider, the wife of a US Navy Sailor, the daughter-in-law of a US Air Force Soldier, the Aunt of a US Army Soldier, and I am sure I can trace this lineage even further. I also know that I will likely will the mother of a US Navy Salior in the next year and possibly the mother of a US Army Soldier in the next few years. While I can state with absolute pride that my family has gave some, I am thankful that to my knowledge none of my family gave all. The ultimate sacrifice... their life. Today we honor the fallen heroes, the men and women who have fought to keep our great nation safe and made it so we can wake in the morning free. All gave some.. Some gave all. When you see a member of the United States Military, whether you are for or against the war. Thank them for their service. And if you can't do that, then please turn your tail from my blog and never come back. I support the US miitary here, and I am proud of each service member who has the guts to put that uniform on every single day! God BLESS America! And Happy Memorial Day!

Some Gave all

By Billy Ray Cyrus

I knew a man called him Sandy Kane

Few folks even knew his name

But a hero was he

Left a boy, came back a man

Still many just don't understand

About the reasons we are free

I can't forget the look in his eyes

Or the tears he cries

As he said these words to me

All gave some and some gave all

And some stood through for the red, white and blue

And some had to fall

And if you ever think of me

Think of all your liberties and recall

Some gave all

Now Sandy Kane is no longer here

But his words are oh so clear

As they echo through out our land

For all his friends who gave us all

Who stood the ground and took the fall

To help their fellow man

Love your country and live with pride

And don't forget those who died

America can't you see

All gave some and some gave all

And some stood through for the red, white and blue

And some had to fall

And if you ever think of me

Think of all your liberties and recall

Some gave all

And if you ever think of me

Think of all your liberties and recall,

yes recall

Some gave all

Some gave all
