“The Banner Yet Waves” is a song I composed for Memorial Day to honor and pay tribute to fallen soldiers. The attached song, "The Banner Yet Waves," combines elements of the Pledge of Allegiance, "The Star-Spangled Banner," and Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. The song commemorates those who served and sacrificed, honoring flag and country.

The Banner Yet Waves

Allegiance pledged

to the flag

hand over heart

our solemn oath

All gave some

some gave all

honoring our flag

until their fall

Remember patriots

one nation under God, invoking

the last full, their last full

measure of devotion

Land of the free

home of the brave

the banner yet waves

upon your graves
