Below
is a picture you
have to see. We define patriotism, render respect and honor and
pay
tribute in many ways. Some people have a different level of
devotion
and a different level of pride, some just show it differently.
Regardless,
it is what's in your heart that matters.
As
you look at this picture below
think of the millions of Americans who have come before us, served
their
country and then come home only to be forgotten, left behind and in
some
cases, even discarded by the same people they fought to defend.
Remember
those who valiantly served and were cursed when they came home.
The
gentleman in this picture
is unknown to me. I don't know who he is, where he has been or
even
if he ever served a day in the military. BUT, by his action I
would
be willing to bet that he served his country, proudly and with honor,
and
in his heart is still serving by doing all that he can to show his love
for his country. Please pass not only this picture on to your
friends
but also the message that is sent.
God Bless the
USA!

God
Bless the USA
If
tomorrow all the things
were gone
I'd
worked for all my life,
And I
had to start again
with
just my children and
my wife,
I'd
thank my lucky stars
to be
living here today,
Cause
the flag still stands
for freedom
and
they can't take that
away.
I'm
proud to be an American
where
at least I know I'm
free,
And,
I won't forget the men
who died
who
gave that right to me.
And
I'll gladly stand up
(!)
next
to you
and
defend her still today.
Cause
there ain't no doubt
I love this land...
God
Bless the U.S.A.!
From
the lakes of Minnesota
to
the hills of Tennessee,
Across
the plains of Texas
from
sea to shining sea,
from
Detroit down to Houston,
and
New York to L.A.,
There's
pride in every American
heart
and
it's time we stand and
say:
I'm
proud to be an American
where
at least I know I'm
free,
And,
I won't forget the men
who died
who
gave that right to me.
And,
I'll gladly stand up
(!)
next
to you
and
defend her still today.
'Cause
there ain't no doubt
I love this land...
God
Bless the U.S.A!!
