4th of July

clip_image003
I  PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,
OF  THE UNITED STATES OF  AMERICA,  
AND  TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT  STANDS,  
ONE NATION  UNDER GOD,
INDIVISIBLE,  WITH  LIBERTY
AND  JUSTICE FOR ALL!

For all of our other military personnel, where ever they may be
Please Support all of the troops defending our Country.

clip_image005
And God Bless our Military
who are protecting our Country for our Freedom. Thanks to them, and their sacrifices we can celebrate the 4th of July

We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have, of which we should be eternally grateful.

I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.  
A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease.

I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.

I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers' tears?

How many pilots' planes shot down?  
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.

I heard the sound of Taps one night, 
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.

I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant 'Amen,'
When a flag had draped a coffin
Of a brother or a friend.

I thought of all the Children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and Husbands
With interrupted lives.

clip_image028

I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.

Enjoy Your Freedom
& God Bless Our Troops
