~RedWhite&Blue~

RedWhite&Blue I just can't help myself. Have to post an early 4th of July entry. What a holiday. It ranks in my top three. I think about my Daddy and his service in the Marine Corps.  I think of men I personally know who are serving this country in an effort to preserve our freedom. ***Doug, James, Frank, Foster, Keith, Brian, and John.*** I think of all those I'll never meet who have given their lives for you and I. Complete strangers. Thank you. O thus be it ever when free-men shall stand Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!” And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
