My Country Tis of Thee

White stars, red and white stripes. Blue for loyalty. Waving in the wind, instilling pride. Reminding us of pledge. Apple pie, Chevrolet, John Wayne. Viet Nam, Gulf War, Freedom of speech, freedom riders, Free to think, free to be the best we can be. Texas, California, Iowa, from sea to shining me. State pride, rawhide, courageous side. A cultural mix unheard of before the Pilgrims landed, and the Natives Took pity and helped them live. Thanksgiving, 4th of July, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Germans, French, Italians, Scots, Swedes, African Americans. All Americans, all united in that. 911 Hero pride. Sacrifices. Pride to all of us, they were Americans. All for one, a nation under God, my Country Tis of Thee 8/27/2018 My Country Tis of Thee Contest Sponsor: Brahn Bailey
