"Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men.

A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, "that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States. "

~John Adams

"The United States Flag Code outlines certain guidelines for the use, display, and disposal of the flag. For example, the flag should never be dipped to any person or thing, unless it is the ensign responding to a salute from a ship of a foreign nation. This tradition may come from the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, where countries were asked to dip their flag to King Edward VII: the American flag bearer did not.
Team captain Martin Sheridan is famously quoted as saying "this flag dips to no earthly king", though the true provenance of this quotation is unclear."

Amen! And endless gratitude for men and women of such honor, fortitude, persistence and courage .. something deeply important to be remembered over these July 4th celebrations.

May they be dearly held in God's glorious Heaven richly blessed, and may God protect all the amazing brave troops fighting today for us and our freedom and comfort their lonely families.

WE CAN and MUST NEVER FORGET all that's been given for this beautiful nation and for us!
