"Long May Her Banner Wave....
Let Freedom Ring!"This is one of my favorite patriotic pieces, because it symbolizes the sentiments, I hold so dear, giving thanks for our great and free nation of America! For the many sacrifices, made by those who have gone before us, and for those who continue to fight today, to protect our freedoms, we are eternally grateful.
My prayer for today, as we gather together with family and friends to celebrate our nation's national day of Independence, is that we always cherish the many freedoms we enjoy in America. May we strive to give thanks to God for all of His blessings, and may we always seek to uphold the values held so dear by our forefathers....Faith, Hope, Peace, Love, and Charity for all.
God Bless You Always.

God Bless America!
