** Heroes We Never Name **

Heroes We Never Name Back of the men we honor Enrolled on the scroll of fame, Are the millions who go unmentioned - The heroes we never name! Those who have won us the victories, And conquered along the way; Those who have made us a nation - A tribute to them I would pay. Back of our nation's first leader, Of Lincoln and Wilson, too, Back of the mind directing our course Was the army that carried it through. Back of the generals and captains Was the tramping of rank and file, And back of them were the ones at home Who labored with tear and with smile. And What of the "everyday" heroes Whose courage and efforts never cease! Toilers who struggle and labor and strive And hope for a future of peace? Hats off to the worthy leaders; Their honor I'd ever acclaim - But here's a cheer for the many brave, The heroes we never name. By M.
