Belated Happy Fourth of July!
On the Fourth, my family and I wanted to get into the patriotic feeling of the day, and we did, in part, by watching this video dedicated to soldiers who have fallen in war, fighting for our country.
As a husband and father, this really tugged and tugs at my heart strings.
I realize there's much more to America than simply those who have fought for it. Yet, without the ultimate sacrifice given by so many, I doubt whether we would have the great land we have, today.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
