Use this moving song by Teresa Jennings to help your students understand the original intention of Memorial Day - to commemorate the men and women who gave their lives in service of their country. With gentle music and poetic lyrics that speak of sacrifice, valor, bravery, and of course, remembrance, it could also be used for Veterans Day, Patriot Day, or any occasion honoring American heroes who are no longer with us.
