Let's get this circulating by July 4th

Happy  4th of 
July!....  
.....let' s get this started now, 
So it will  be out there on the  fourth!!!! 

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! 

KEEP  IT LIT!

KEEP IT  LIT!  

For  
All of our other military personnel, wherever they may be  
Please  
Support all of the troops defending our  Country. 

And  God Bless our Military who are protecting  our Country for our Freedom.
Thanks  
To them, and their sacrifices we can  celebrate the 4th of July  

We must never  forget who 
Gets the credit for the freedoms  we have, of which we should be Eternally  grateful.. 

I watched the flag  
Pass by one day, 
It fluttered in the  breeze. 

A young Marine  
Saluted it, 
And then he stood at ease..  


I looked at 
Him in uniform  
So young, so tall, so proud, 
With hair  cut square 
And eyes alert 
He'd stand out  in any crowd. 

I thought how many men  
Like him 
Had fallen through the years.  
How many died on foreign 
Soil 
How  many mothers' tears? 

How many pilots' planes  
Shot down? 
How many died at sea 
How  many foxholes were soldiers' 
Graves ?  
No, freedom isn't free 

I heard the  sound of Taps 
One night, 
When everything  was still, 
I listened to the bugler  Play 
And felt a sudden chill.  

I wondered just how many times  
That Taps had meant 'Amen,' 

When a flag had draped a Coffin. 
Of a brother or a friend.  

I thought of all  the Children, 
Of the mothers and the  wives, 
Of fathers, Sons and Husbands  
With interrupted lives.  

I  
Thought about a  graveyard
At  the bottom of the sea 

Of unmarked graves in  Arlington . 
No, freedom isn't free.  

Enjoy  Your Freedom 
And God Bless Our  Troops

When  You receive this, please stop for a moment  
And
Say  a 
Prayer for our servicemen.  
Of  all the gifts you could give 
A US Soldier,  Prayer is the very best  
One.
