42 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | MAY 2019 | LET US NEVER FORGET Jerry W. Franklin As I approach the wall My hand goes up. I reach to touch a familiar name; I can't help but think of why I came. I transcend time as I reflect; In honor of the fallen, I stand erect. The life I have lived and they have lost, I weep as I ponder the awesome cost. The time that was sacrificed with family and friends, Not to mention the fun and worldly trends. As I see how some veterans are treated of late, I shamefully wonder who had the better fate. Not all those affected are etched on the wall; The parents and children can never again call. A lineage is stopped forever more, A tragic end that cuts to the core. We honor all these souls engraved on the wall; Many gave some, but these gave all. So awesome and spectacular is this granite face, But the stories and tears are what make this place. As I leave, I look over my shoulder at the wall; I catch my tears as they freely fall. I choose to believe, the price paid was not in vain, But all should remember the tears and the pain. So many years later as they all lay at rest, We all must remember how freedom was addressed. I honor their willingness to sacrifice all; Let us never forget how they got on the wall.
