Celebration We Should Support
Celebration We Should Support
Fourth of July I did find in my mind
Celebration to support and special kind
Of holiday we have making much sense
Which is all about our independence.
Democracy we always do highly value
Promoting honesty and only what is true
And a shining example we see each day
In every sports game that we will play.
Better off we never could possibly be
If it wasn't for those on other side of sea
Who made us realize happiness be in pursuit
Made secure for us by a recent new recruit.
Soldier, sailor, in air, Coast Guard or Marine
Are some of the finest people I have ever seen
Understand why and what is worth fighting for
No wonder ones like them need more and more.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet
