Memorial Day - Arlington (Trace Adkins)

Memorial Day Tribute to members of the United States Armed Forces who now rest in peace in Arlington National Cemetery - set to the song - "Arlington" by Trace Adkins - In honor of the Fallen Heroes of the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Reserves. All gave some, some gave all. These are the men and women who bought our freedom at the price of their lives. We give thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice and pray for the loved ones they left behind. Lyrics: I never thought that this is where I'd settle down I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown They gave me this plot of land,me and some other men, for a job well done There's a big white house sits on a hill just up the road The man inside he cried the day they brought me home The folded up a flag and told my mom and dad 'We're pround of your son' And I'm proud to be on this paecful piece of property I'm on scared ground and I'm in the best of company I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done I can rest in peace, I'm one of the chosen ones, I made it to Arlington I remember that my daddy brought me here when I was eight We searched all day to find out where my granddad lay And when we finally found that cross He said, 'son this is what it cost to keep us free' Now here I am a thousand stones away from him He recongized me on the first day I came in And it gave me a chill when he clicked his heels and saluted me I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property I'm on scared ground and in the best of company I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done I can rest in peace I'm one of the chosen ones, I made it to Arlington And every time I hear twenty-one guns I know they brought another hero home to us We're thankful for those thankful for the things we've done We can rest in peace, 'cause we were the chosen ones We made it to Arlington, yea, dust to dust Don't cry for us, we made it to Arlington
