their families this Memorial Day. Our hearts and prayers go out to them 
and their families, Brothers and Sisters in Arm. I ask that this poem 
penned in their honor by Albert Carey Caswell be included in the

     With Hearts So Deep, In Honor of the Fallen This Memorial Day

                       (By Albert Carey Caswell)

     With hearts so deep,
     their vowels would keep
     Who went off to war
     For all the more
     And came back home no more.
     Who died and bled on battlefields of honor said, of blood, 
           death, and gore
     For all their Brothers and Sisters in Arms the more
     The ones who live no more
     Who with hearts so deep so fought for
     All our freedom and peace,
     and the ones to their left and right in their beliefs
     Who in dark cold graves now their precious bodies sleep
     While, across this Nation their loved one's weep.
     As such pain they keep
     In hearts so deep
     And all those children who grew up without the best friends 
           to hearts so speak
     As we now so weep
     On the land, air, md sea to seek
     Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and The Marines we speak
     To rein down upon the enemy such destruction reek,
     For that old Red, White, and Blue which speaks
     Who throughout the generations stood with the greatest of all 
           hearts so deep
     As our Nation's greatest of treasures,
     the ones who Gave That Last Full Measure did each
     With hearts so deep
     Sadly, for any Nation to survive
     Some of her most precious must lay down their lives
     The price of freedom so high
     As the Angels up in Heaven begin to cry
     As up to Heaven, New Angels begin to rise
     With hearts so deep.
     So, all in yours this Memorial Day we ask you to seek,
     their memories, give prayers and thanks to each
     And remember how our freedom throughout the generations we 
           keep
     All because of such magnificent With Hearts So Deep.
