Happy 250th Birthday…Land That I LOVE!

 

Not that we needed it, but the uplifting posts we’ve seen on Instagram, X, and Facebook of visitors to our country have been like a mood elevator for us all. 

The World Cup and the many visitors from all around the world have been an extraordinary gift for our country’s 250th birthday celebration. 


 

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea

Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free

Let us all be grateful that we are far from there

As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer 

 

Let our allegiance be to THIS land and THIS country. Let us be grateful for the freedoms we have…even the freedom to disagree.

 

God bless America, land that I love

Stand beside her and guide her

Through the night with a light from above

From the mountains to the prairies

To the oceans white with foam

God bless America, my home sweet home

God bless America, my home sweet home 

 

God bless this land, woven of mountains and lakes, of deserts and tall forests…of quiet farms and bustling cities. 

 

 

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

 

 

 I pledge my allegiance to the Land that I Love…to the United States of America.

I pledge to honor the principles on which this country was established: liberty, justice, personal responsibility, and the belief that all people are created equal. 

                                                        These travel with me. 

 

 

I pledge to honor by my actions the freedom that has been earned, defended, and preserved through the service of generations of Americans. 

 

 

 

God Bless America

Happy Birthday, USA!

Good morning Kathy. Let us all celebrate our nation's birthday. Let us remember the freedom is not free and requires some sacrifice by all. Those who oppose our policies should remember, in other countries their thoughts and protests would not be tolerated. Their protests are the price loyalists pay to live here. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin Happy Fourth of July!!!   With freedom comes responsibilities...just like what we tell our children. Abandoning the principles on which this country was founded is unacceptable.

I have really enjoyed the videos of foreigners reacting to America being quite different from what their media makes it out to be.  It certainly proves that the media is filled with nothing more than lies, pushing whatever agenda they are dictated to push, haha.

Happy Independence Day to you as well.

We saw fireworks yesterday at an outdoor concert with a full orchestra. The choir soloist sang God Bless America, and I turned to my wife who saw the tears running down my cheeks while I sang as well.

What a lovely tribute and your personal commitment to this incredible Republic. Did you know "under God" was added by President Eisenhower?

Hello, Kathy Streib I have two copies of The Constitution of the United States of America on my desk. I often refer to it for various reasons, among them how the SCOTUS interprets and renders decisions.  Nuff said on that!

The"Pledge" really says it all - doesn't it?
