In peace may they rest, may we never forget Why they died

It’s a pittance of time

“8th of November” lyrics by Big & Rich

And I’m proud to be On this peaceful piece of property I’m on sacred ground And I’m in the best of company I’m thankful for those thankful For the things I’ve done I can rest in peace I’m one of the chosen ones I made it to Arlington

“Arlington” Lyrics by Trace Adkins

And I will always do my duty No matter what the price I’ve counted up the cost I know the sacrifice Oh, and I don’t want to die for you But if dyin’s asked of me I’ll bear that cross with honor ‘Cause freedom don’t come free

My Dearest son, it’s almost June I hope this letter catches up with you And finds you well It’s been dry But they’re callin’ for rain And everything’s the same old same In Johnsonville Your stubborn old daddy Ain’t said too much But I’m sure you know He sends his love

“Letters From Home” Lyrics by John Michael Montgomery

He said, my name is Private Andrew Malone And if you’re reading this, then I didn’t make it home But for every dream that’s shattered, another one comes true This car was once a dream of mine, now it belongs to you And though you may take her and make her your own You’ll always be riding with Private Malone

“Riding With Private Malone”  Lyrics by David Ball
