I
HOPE THERE ISN'T ANYONE ON MY E-MAIL LIST THAT WON'T KEEP
THIS GOING.
Happy 4th of
July!....
.....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
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.
Of all the gifts you could give
A US
Soldier, Prayer is the very best
One.
