Inspiring Movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2006)

I was inspired to write this poem after watching "Saving Private Ryan".
"FREEDOM"
They'll make a shrine of this battleground with silent rifles and tilted crowns, and who we were with names and dates and posthumous medals commending our fates.
Those who live will be the first to tell in stirring words of our lives in hell, of who we were and how we fought, dying for friends we never forgot.
A bugle calls and Taps will sound for those we've laid to rest; heads will bow and hands salute as those we mourn are blessed.
Small white crosses are all that's left to show why we were here; we struggled and died for a cause we'll hold forever dear.
