Happy Fourth of July 2008

"The Star Spangled Banner" - Our National Anthem

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting the air
Gave proof through the night that that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?






"America the Beautiful" - Patriotic song and hymn.










O beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.
