4th of July Scenes to remember

 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
        KEEP IT LIT!

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 .

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

I was asked to share this with you so enjoy and have a wonderful 4th of July.
