As you begin preparations for the Fourth of July celebration, continue to be mindful of. . .
America's
fight for freedom!
It did not JUST
HAPPEN overnight!
The Ultimate Sacrifice
Hope, courage and faith is solidified
with
the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
A long, arduous road to independence
was finally reaching its journey’s
end.
A committee of only five*
Met to initiate
liberty
On a large
parchment document
Declared our
country finally free
Thirteen former British Colonies
Shaped an
indisputably innovative spirit
Free from British rule and tyranny
New in
mentality, morality and merit
A total of
fifty-six men
Put their lives,
families on the line
To throw off the yoke of Britain
Leaving oppression
far, far behind
A resolved
league of complete solidarity
United for their
common defense
Protected the
security of liberties
Against forces
of any pretence
They all knew
without any doubt
Penalty of death
was the price
Their lives,
fortunes, sacred honor
Were all part of
the sacrifice

Sharla,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about being American. Red, White and Blue
Red for the blood our soldiers shed
White for the purity of their love to fight for our freedom
Blue for those we lost
I hope the news across American gets these videos and your message. I forwarded it to everyone in my address book and Tweeted them all as well.
Thank you for reminding us where we live and those that fought so we could be FREE!!
Mamie, thank you so much for your comments and forwardings! I have not received as much feedback from these posts as I had hoped. Thank you for helping spread America across America!
