As we, in the United States, celebrate 230 years of FREEDOM, I'd like to share a song that was written and recorded by my favourite country singer, Donna Fargo.

The name of the song is U.S. of A

"I worked in the fields this morning
I traveled your highways today
Used a creek and a rainbow for a roadmap
And a tree for a chapel to pray

And I'm so proud to sing your praises
And to live in the land of the free
I'm just one of your children who loves you
Lyrics courtesy Top40db.
You're home, sweet home to me

United States of America
Where I can be whatever I can be
Free to think as I choose
Right or wrong, win or lose
Where my only limitation is me

United States of America
I believe in the red, white and blue
And I thank you for
All you've done for me
And I'll do my best for you

United States of America
Hallelujah, we love you

(talking part):
And as a citizen of my country
I believe it is my duty to obey your laws
To try to be a worthy individual
A positive example and a
Productive and responsible citizen

To be informed and concerned
About our nation's affairs and to
Voice my beliefs constructively
To practice diligently
An attitude of brotherly love
And hold no hatred against anyone

And when one of
My brothers makes a mistake
Be he peasant or a President
I will try to treat him
As I would want to be treated
With compassion and understanding

And I will continue to be proud
To pay taxes for the opportunity to live
In the greatest nation in the world
A nation born out of faith in God
And sustained only if that faith
And the support of the American people
Remain strong (end talking part)

United States of America
Hallelujah, we love you
United States of America
Hallelujah, we love you!"

You're a Grand Old Flag
by George M. Cohan

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.

Ev'ry heart beats true

Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Enjoy your Independence Day ! :hug:

You do the same! You know, when I was in first grade, some kids had stolen the flag in front of the school and returned it a few days later, ripped to shreds. I had been scheduled for show and tell that day, but had gotten a stomach ache and my dad brought me home. I had wanted to see what they did to the flag, but I think that even today, I wouldn't be able to stomach it.

As for Heath, thanks for the complement! You have to realize and understand that I accept people, no matter their creed, without judgment. I have always been like this and don't believe that "liberal or conservative" has anything to do with it. I can chum around with Native Americans, whites, blacks, latinos, asians, green people, orange people . . . you name it. And yes, they are ALL in need of a Savior. It's our job to tell them, but it's not our job to force them to accept Christ . . . that is the Holy Spirit's job. To say it once is good enough, I believe. Have a great 4th, Heath! :)
