American Legion Post 50 SAL 50 New York USA
One night preparing for our trip to Italy we found a famous old
poem about how those who been killed in service to their country
might want to be remembered.  I believe it refers to a visit to teh
Vietnam Wall in Washington.  We sent it out to our project team
including our US military contacts in Italy and the next day we
received this unforgetible video inviting Americans and others in
Italy to our ceremony in Florence.  This should start with a click.

The Memorial

We tried,we tried,Oh God we tried
So we could be here too
And walk around remembering
And look for names we knew
Our lives were lost so far away
Upon a distant shore
But we are here in memory
As you read our names once more
Remember us,Remember us
Although we're truly gone
Remember us,as we once were
And not just names in stone
