Thank you for posting this,
@RMEAV8R. We as citizens of the United States are so blessed to enjoy the liberties that we often take for granted. We truly need days like this one... days that we set aside to remember those who gave their all, so that "we the people" would be free. This freedom is not to be trifled with, for it comes with a cost... and the men & women who sacrificed are worthy of honor.
"My country, ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From every mountainside,
Let freedom ring!
Our fathers’ God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King."
- Samuel Francis Smith, 1831
