"Let the generations know that women in uniform also guaranteed their freedom.  That our resolve was just as great as the brave men who stood among us.  And with victory our hearts were just as full and beat just as fast ----- that the tears fell just as hard for those we left behind."   ARMY NURSE, WWII

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU

You were born in California

New York and Tennessee

You ar every generation's hope

Of all that we can be

All this land between the oceans

Is the home that you defend

You're my mother, you're my daughter

My sister, my friend

No one ever had to ask you

It seemed you always knew

Standing up for what you know is right

Is all that you could do

Not one to look the other way

You chose to serve with pride

And dared to cross the bounderies

Knowing God was on your side

And I will always remember you

For you remembered me

Always there when I needed you

Always there protecting my freedom

How could I ever forget you

You, who always came through

For duty, honor, country

I will always remember you

How you taught us strength and courage

And the will to never fail

And that through ever conflict

Somehow triumph would prevail

You made your peace with history

And stand among the brave

No more the unsung hero

For you our banners wave

And I will always remember you

For you remembered me

Always there when I needed you

Always there protecting my freedom

How could I ever forget you

You, who always came through

For duty, honor, country

I will always remember you
