American Heroes

Today barbecue grills are smoking across the U.S, beaches are populated to the max, sales are rampant in the stores—it’s a day of freedom to do whatever you wish. But the true meaning of today is respect for the men and women who sacrificed their lives for our country.

Here’s a bit from America the Beautiful (words by Katharine Lee Bates, melody by Samuel Ward), in honor of our nation’s fallen.
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
