Red ~ white ~ blue
Happy Independence Day to you
Celebrate Freedom its your right

Premium MemberHappy Birthday 'Merica

Happy Birthday ‘Merica

It’s happy birthday ‘Merica
I wish you all the best
You’ve kept us free for all these years
You’re better than the rest

For those who claim you’ve lost your glow
They’ve lost their sappy minds
Our unity must win the day
For that’s the tie that binds

     Independence Day

     flags… parades… hurray 
  
      ~ taps for hostages… play

Premium MemberNewest Federal Holiday

Largely overlooked
Juneteenth Independence Day, Freedom Day 
Emancipation Day – commemorates the end of slavery 
In the United States
Most States that is
There are 20 states still holding out
In 1863 slaves were freed
Texas withheld the information
It wasn't until 1865 that the slaves were
finally told by soldiers at the end of the war.
Union Army Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger rode into 
Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order No. 3
Proclaiming that the enslaved 
African Americans there were free.
Let us be brave and not hide history and rejoice in
the emancipation day.

Premium MemberFirecracker

Firecracker, look at you go 
Sparking, spitting, flying by, 
Putting on quite a show 
For every Fourth of July 

Bang! There goes the first 
Crack! Goes number two, 
Snap! The third one burst 
Pop! For the red, white and blue 

Let freedom ring out 
Independence for us all,
One day a year to shout 
Hear all voices call 

When we can't say this 
And we can't do that, 
In a country amiss 
Where freedom's at

Long gone is the way 
Of such prim and poise,
Today, all of us can say
Let's make some noise 

Bang! There goes the first 
Crack! Goes number two, 
Snap! The third one burst 
Pop! For the red, white and blue 

Sparking, spitting, flying by 
Putting on quite a show, 
For every Fourth of July 
Firecracker, look at you go!


Premium MemberPomp and Pageantry

I remember the grand parades
  Memorial and Independence Day
All their pomp and pageantry
  Many faded jeans ago, so far away

Our boys in uniform we'd be saluting
  For the good ole USA we'd be rooting
Now it's political rancor at barbeques
  ~ From either end we're tooting
