God Bless The USA

I thought this was appropriate to post for today.

God Bless The U.S.A.

by Lee Greenwood


If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

I wish I would've been able to serve, but I'm proud of our family nonetheless. I sometimes wonder if my little brother will? That would be neat if he followed in Dad's footsteps.

This is one of my favorite patriotic songs.

Why is it that these patriotic songs always make me cry?!

Ok, even when I'm *not* pregnant.

We have so much here that so many others would die for (and DO die for) and yet, there are so many people here who don't appreciate it.
