Our Blood has been to Battle

In remembrance of
Uncle Melvin Lynn Applebury
Great Uncle Herbert Vander Molen




Our Blood has been to Battle



When danger has haunted good men
     And violence has held dark sway
Our blood has stalked the bad lands
     Rebuffing Evil’s way

Our blood has been to war
     On hill and plain and bay
Our blood has been to battle
     For them today we pray

Some served and came back
     Sadly others had to stay
On foreign soils nourished deep
     Where forever they will lay

Forget them not because they gave
     Their life’s coin to pay
Evil back into its lair
     So Good has one more say
