Remember!
As the sun sets upon grain, green and sea, we light our candles and reflect on the solemnity of this day.
We gaze at the flickering flame... as strong as it shines, in a moment it may be blown out.
And it reminds us of our POWs and MIAs...
the strength, the courage... that burns brightly and shows us the way,
yet in a moment, gone... and we remember the light of each and every man and woman that burned so brightly and
was taken from us so quickly.
As the bagpipes moan and carillons peal Amazing Grace in the distance, the winds gently kiss
the faces that are illuminated... and what do we see...
Children
Former Prisoners of War
Family Members
Elders
Veterans
People Who Simply Care
Each and every one a witness... each and every one standing a silent vigil
holding a flickering candle that fights the darkness.
And we wait.... and we remember.
May God Bless our Prisoners of War and Missing in Action.
May God Embrace the Victims and the Missing in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC.
May God Grant Peace, Comfort and Strength to the Families.
May God Grant Perserverance to Those Who Wait and Search.
God Bless America and Those Who Serve.
The Vigil Continues... The Candle Continues To Burn
