I want to give my heartfelt thanks to all veterans that have served in the armed forces on behalf of my wonderful United States of America. My heart bursts when I hear our national anthem, or when I see our flag raised and flying in the air, or when I see one of our best in uniform...they represent freedom, they represent courage, and they represent America.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier,
Who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
AMEN.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Mary, AMEN! Thanks to your family who have served...

Oh Mary this was just WONDERFUL.. I just couldn't agree more. When the National Anthem is played my heart just swells with such a pride and love for America it really is hard to describe. And I LOVE when they do the fly bys. LOVE IT!! The poem is great too. Have a WONDERFUL day my friend. LET FREEDOM RING!! Debbie
ReplyDeleteCame back by to hear this again this morning, Mary, and it's even more awesome the second time around. I love our military SO much, and I bless them and their families who sacrifice that we might be free. It just makes me feel so proud of and grateful to them in the light of all that they do.
