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 mother's 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 thecChildren, 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 receive this, please stop for a moment And Say a Prayer for our servicemen.
