Let Freedom Ring

July the Fourth is nearly here, And we are still fighting to keep freedom in this land we hold so precious and dear. We can’t drop our guard or look the other way, We have too many enemies at our gates that are waiting for that day. God Bless our Troops, and let them know we really care, Give them respect and honor, for upon their shoulders our freedom they bare. Maybe someday there can be real peace, And all violence and crime will desist and cease. The ones that once held our freedom we now call friend, Hopefully one day all our fences we can finally mend. Sometimes I wonder what really goes on in Washington, D.C., I think sometimes it’s about their own prestige, and I wonder if they even think about you and me? Politics has taken on a different meaning than what it was originally set up for, There seems to be too many little fat and greedy hands in our cookie jar. This is election year and our pickings are slim, But if we choose wrong our future may look grim. Study the choices as best you can, This sure isn’t the time too elect as our leader the wrong man. God Bless All, and have a safe and wonderful July Fourth weekend, And to our troops much love we do send.

Here, here! Well said, I agree! You also have a great 4th! I just read on Miss Beer's comment that you lived in Minot N.D - I'm from Winnipeg, we were neighbors! Blessings to you, Kristin
