DPAA Hymn
by Michael R. Burch
Sound the awesome cannons.
Pin medals to each breast.
Attention, honor guard!
Give them a hero's rest.
Recite their names to the heavens
Till the stars recognize their kin.
Then let the land they defended
Gather them in again.
NOTE: When I learned there's an American military organization, the DPAA (Defense/POW/MIA Accounting Agency) that is still finding and bringing home the bodies of soldiers who died serving their country in World War II, after blubbering like a baby, I managed to eke out this poem.

A beautiful hymn with a noble aim....10++++
