Independence Day
~ Independence Day ~
Born into freedom
I can’t imagine any other life
Free to make up my own mind
Free to choose my own path
For this I am forever grateful
As I stand up and salute
The Red, White and Blue
On
~ Independence Day ~
It comes with pride
Compassion
Respect
A Call to Duty
All traits to be honored
And admired
So here is to our men and women of the armed forces
Helping keep our country free and safe
Standing up for what we believe in
Standing Proud, Strong, and United
I salute you
Every day and especially on
~ Independence Day ~
To those have served before
To those who have gone and passed away
Be it in the line of duty
Or any other way
I salute you
Every day not just on
~ Independence Day ~
So here is to this country
Standing proud
Strong
And United under our banner
Our flag
Letting freedom reign over
The Red, White and Blue
One nation
With billions of hearts
Joined as one
On
~ Independence Day ~
By: Jean Shular
For all the soldiers, past, present and future
Living and passed on
I salute you
I thank you!
