THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER

Oh, say can you see

By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed

At the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars

Through the perilous fight
Over the ramparts we watched

Were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket's red glare

The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night

That our flag was still there
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner

Yet wave
Over the land of the free

And the home of the brave

 

That was great!

Give yourselves a big heartfelt round of applause!

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 livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can't take that away.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

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.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I'm proud to be and American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

To uphold the undeniable principles of Honor Liberty Equality Justice and Humanity for which we stand

And To defend the unalienable rights of Life Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness to which all people are endowed by their Creator

Let us always be thankful to Our Honorable and Brave Patriotic Americans

And let us always try to live what Our Honorable and Brave Patriotic American Heroes

Have served for!  Have suffered for!  And have died for!

 

My fellow Americans
