Anthem

Note the clear strains from our school days, Align with times of growing up; Touch feels fine gains in words that stay, Indulge sweet chimes that fill our cup; One simple sign of home right here, Nurture feelings that spur us on; Address each line as grace endears, Live fond blessings now and beyond. Ask to be free to live in peace, Now and here know with heart and soul; Taste what can be joy's firm increase, Hurl fate that shows a people whole; Etch a bold sketch with profound proof, Measure and match wise tact with truth.

Leon, I admire your patriotism. I know there's a large number of Americans who take this freedom for granted. Thank you for giving us all an wake up call!

Dear Robert: In my view, a person ought to be loyal to his or her country. After all, that is your homeland, whether by birth or by emigration. Gratitude is the starting point of a truly happy state. Leon
