Remember Them

In known and unknown graves they rest,
The young, the bravest and the best,
They to love what life to give,
And yet they died that we might live,
Twice in half a hundred years,
The price was paid in blood and tears,
Let not memory's lamp burn low,
As generations come and go,
Sing out their glorious requiem,
Remember them, Remember them.

Poem from a memorial in the United Kingdom.

Remember us:

No cross marks the place where now we lie
What happened is known but to us
You asked, and we gave our lives to protect
Our land from the enemy curse
No Flanders Field where poppies blow;
No Gleaming Crosses, row on row;
No Unnamed Tomb for all to see
And pause -- and wonder who we might be
The Sailors’ Valhalla is where we lie
On the ocean bed, watching ships pass by
Sailing in safety now thru’ the waves
Often right over our sea-locked graves
We ask you just to remember us.
