INDEPENDENCE DAY–JULY 4TH, 2008 July 3rd, 2008 HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, AMERICA!
Click the link to hear Lee Greenwood’s tribute to our nation and to the men who died to keep it free, GOD BLESS THE USA, aka, PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN: http://www.sceniclasvegas.com/proud_to_be.html
God Bless The USA
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 living here today,
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can’t take that away.
I’m proud to be an American
where at least I know I’m free,
And I won’t 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.,
There’s pride in every American heart
and it’s time we stand and say:
I’m proud to be an American
where at least I know I’m free,
And I won’t 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 U. S. A.
Lee Greenwood
Next to the National Anthem....This is my Very favorite American song.
Thanks for posting.. now I know all the lyrics !!
Happy 4th !!
OOps.. it’s late
I almost forgot....”God Bless America”...
My personal top three !!
(This is the official music video as released by the record company, but there are several other GREAT versions....you can see them in the 'related videos' area in the lower right corner of the YouTube page)
And how, when the awful words of Obama's pastor, Jeremiah Wright, were ringing in the ears of America and the world, His Holiness came and said, "God bless America," his emphasis.
***
I have always liked "America" by Neil Diamond.
God Bless America and grant it the wisdom to expose Liberalism for the evil that it is.
This will be my 2nd Independence Day in America so happy July 4 to everyone...
I wish I can declare Independence from the MSM and their pro-Obama drool-a-thon for one day as well.
This YouTube poster has created a video which brings the great song up to date
Thank you and Welcome Home.
Same to you, fellow FReeper.
Happy and Blessed Independence Day to you. You are most welcome here.
thanks but, music come way-hay before music in my book. I never let former become tainted by the latter.
