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 !
