Heartbeat of America

Red white and blue – unity a sense of pride The flag brings Viet Nam into my mind I wish we would have been more supportive To the young men and women who served We can rectify that; hold our parades Honor them, as they honored us Some giving the ultimate sacrifice Others loaning limbs and minds United forever, all for one and one for all Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride My heart explodes with feelings of honor and courage Hand over heart, I feel the heartbeat of America.

Beautiful verse, Caren. Yes, everyday I am thankful for those who have given their all that we can have the freedoms we enjoy.
