I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Happy 4th of
July!
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!
KEEP IT
LIT!!
KEEP IT LIT!!
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...
DON'T LET THE FLAME DIE OUT!...PLEASE
KEEP THIS GOING
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
