God Bless America, Happy Independance Day!

"I pledge allegiance to the flag

of the United States of America,

and to the republic for which it stands,

one nation under God, indivisible,

with liberty and justice for all."

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855–1931),

God bless and protect all the brave men and women who have served, and are serving today, to keep our great nation and all of our freedoms alive and well.  Without them we certainly would not be living the wonderful lifestyle we live today.  God bless also those men and women who serve in different ways to keep our country strong...policemen, firemen, wildland firemen, medical experts, etc.  They all add valuable elements to our lives and we owe them our thanks.
