Happy 4th of
July!....
............ .....let' s get this started now,
So it will be out there on the fourth!!!!
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.
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.
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
