E-mail Print

 

.....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!

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
 

PLEASE KEEP IT GOING TO YOUR FRIENDS, 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

When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our servicemen. 
This can be very powerful.... Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, prayer is the very best one.

Thanks to Frank Ramos and the 517prctg.org. These are our real heroes.
