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
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
When
You see this, please stop for a moment
And
Say a
Prayer
for our servicemen.
Of
all the gifts you could give
A US
Soldier, Prayer is the very best
One.
