Pat Boone: Are you an American patriot?

We, most of us, believe that we matter to our Creator, that He somehow ordained our existence, that He has had purposes for us and has personally seen us through many grave perils and strifes. No other country has ever, to my knowledge, put God's name on its currency, as a testament to our faith in Him! For two hundred-plus years, we've believed in the words of Thomas Jefferson in his majestic Declaration of Independence, that every American citizen is directly ''endowed with certain inalienable rights, among these Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness'' ... by God. No other country in human history has made such a declaration.

Amen!

Very nice!

The freedom to do anything we want, on any day we choose – that's what we're celebrating.

On a day like today, we passed the time away, writing love letters in the sand.

BTTT!

"Thank You" to all of those who have given us and defended our Freedom.

[Reagan Man]

>>>>''Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations; ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.''

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
--- Ronald Reagan

Needs a picture.

"The ultimate determinant in the struggle now going on for the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas-a trial of spiritual resolve: the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish and the ideals to which we are dedicated."
-- President Ronald Reagan

[Reagan Man]

Nice pic!

And so I do, and I cry. I don't intend to, but as I try to picture that patriot and what he or she imagined life held after the war, and how all those dreams were abruptly erased, and how the loved ones back home gave up their hopes and plans, too; I feel the very least I can do is thank them, from my heart and soul, out loud.

My Hero.
His writing always gives me chills.

I hope Lee Greenwood's "I'm proud to be an American" is played many times this weekend and throughout the 4th of July.

When I read your post I thought of a song....."We're You Born An Asshole?" and I thought, yes, he was.

Happy 4th AH.

A super hero and a super patriot!

We could use a man like him today.

You should be ashamed of yourself to say that about about Mr.Boone. I applaud this article because it's true. Because it's what this country stands for and because when you say the name of the fallen out loud, you somehow give that person meaning and live. And Yes I want to thank them out loud for their sacrifice.

[rep-always]

meaning and life

[processing please hold]

OK Mr. Boone. Some nice patriotic men in white coats are here to help you.

Not nice.

If he made a scene like that around my father's grave, I wouldn't like it one bit.

[hosepipe]

Very true.. No other country on this planet attibutes the peoples rights NOT to the gov't but to God.. Our rights did not come from the american state or federal gov'ts.. but from God... Unlike the governments of Canada and URP and any other place on this planet..

Did he "make a scene" and why wouldn't you like it one bit?

Just honest curiosity.

If I was at my father's grave and this celebrity was walking around announcing names and publicly weeping, I'd think he was doing it for the attention.

Wouldn't you?
