GOD BLESS AMERICA,U-S-A
(T. Beechey)
It started in the Revolution and continued through the Civil War
In World War One,she was there to greet our boys back on the shore
In World War Two when we dropped the bomb,then onto Korea and Vietnam
Waving proudly for all to see --- our Stars And Stripes,our Old Glory
You see them flying on the poles and they mark every grave
For every soldier that perished for a country they fought to save
And those who seek to burn her never tasted the agony of war
They just don't understand what she really does stand for:
She stands for freedom and for justice and the right to live in peace
She stands for unity among all nations and for future wars to cease
From the tip of Maine across fruited plains to Californ-i-a
We can all rejoice and say in one voice,"We love the U-S-A!"
It's just a simple story of honor,pride,and glory
And a bond of courage and trust to stand for the one who stood for us
A true image of democracy for generations through and through
As we walk hand-in-hand across this great land --- God Bless the Red,White,and Blue
That flag,she's seen us through it all through those conflicts in the past
We stood tall with us in victory and mourned with us at half-mast
How could anyone ever take a flame and try to erase every name
Of every soldier that paved the way for us to live,as one,in the U-S-A
She stands for liberty and bravery and the rights of all mankind
The hopes and dreams of everyone and the time we all can find
That everyone,everywhere can stand and proudly say
"God Bless America,
"God Bless America,
"God Bless America,U-S-A"

This is a great piece of work! Thank you for being a true patriot and for showing your appreciation for those who have gone before us and for those who, even now risk their lives for us. Your testament to old glory will stand the test of time!
Semper Fidelis
