God Bless AMERICA!


My country 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rature thrills,
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song:
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake,
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

Our fathers' God to thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.



How blessed we are in this country, to have the freedoms we enjoy.


I am sooo grateful to be a part of this Great Land.


Today, as we humbly fly our Red, White and Blue proudly, it with be with gratitude to the foresight and brilliance of our forefathers.


I LOVE America!



I hope you will enjoy a wonderful Independence Day with your family and friends, that you will be safe and well and that you'll take a moment to remember our history.




With huge hugs!

Happy Birthday AMERICA!!! I LOVE YOU!


America The Beautiful

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown they good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Oh how I love that song.....and the Stars Spangled Banner....and any other patriotic American song, for that matter. I love to hear them, but I can never sing along. I try. I really, really try. I get a lump in my throat the size of the Statue of Liberty and weep every time I hear one....and get goose bumps the size of Texas! :-)

Yep, I'm a gushy, sloppy, America loving citizen of this great and mighty land!

And, darn proud of it!



No country has a flag as gloriously beautiful as our American flag! Each time I see all the flags displayed in one place........say the Olympics, I'm amazed at how our flag stands out and ABOVE all the rest. It's held the test of time and all the other flags pale in comparison.







Long may she wave.



My sentiments exactly!







Amen.



God bless AMERICA!! Two hundred and thirty-three years old.

And, finally, I want to thank all of those who have fought for our blessed America......and those who continue to fight. I am grateful beyond words.


From my family to yours........

Happy Independence Day!

Please be safe.


And, please pray for our country!
