Memorial Day ...I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!


I am so thankful and blessed to live in this great country that allows each of us to freely speak our minds and share our thoughts ...even if they are not politically correct. It is my prayer in celebrating Memorial Day that we may all feel that it is good to be an American and in so doing, we will bless the name of the Lord for our good fortune. Remember, some have given some for all, but on this Memorial Day, let us honor those that have given their last full measure of devotion for us all....and let us proclaim, 
I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN....

I am proud to be an American
In this land of sweet Liberty;
For those who have gone before
And died to keep us free.

I am one with those whose blood cries out
From lands across the sea...
Who gave their all in sacrifice
To protect our sweet liberties.

I stand with those whose struggles
Keep them downtrodden and forlorn;
And I mourn with every mother
For the child that was never born.

I lift up the broken-hearted
With their Spirit,  I too weep;
And lament with those who have no place
To lay their head in peaceful sleep.

I champion those, our desperate ones
And pray for them sweet rest;
For the sure and ever present beat
Of freedom in each breast.

I unite with those whom I oppose
So together strong we stand...
In defense of this great nation
And the God who rules this land.

Oh, I am PROUD to be an American
So on this bright and glorious day;
May my actions and deeds speak louder
Than the words you hear me say.

Yes,  I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
Thus my prayer will always be;
That God will shower His blessings upon
 This land of the BRAVE and FREE!!!!
