Happy 4th of July!!! I just wanted to take a moment to pay tribute to our founding fathers and the men and women who fight to keep us free. Thank you all!! Here are bits and pieces of some of my favorite songs because I could not say it better than they already have:
Ballad of the Green Beret – Fighting soldiers from the sky, fearless men who jump and die, men who mean just what they say those brave men are the green berets.
America the beautiful by Ray Charles – Oh beautiful, for heroes proved, In liberating strife, Who more than self, our country loved, And mercy more than life, America, America, may God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness And every gain devined. Oh beautiful, for spacious skies, For amber waves o f grain, For purple mountain majesties, Above the fruited plain, America, sweet America, You know, God done shed his grace on thee, He crowned thy good, yes he did, in a brotherhood From sea to shining sea.
God Bless America – God Bless America, Land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam God bless America, My home sweet home.
Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue by Toby Keith – American girls and american guys We’ll always stand up and salute We’ll always recognize
When we see old glory flying There’s a lot of men dead So we can sleep in peace at night When we lay down our head….Justice will be served
And the battle will rage This big dog will fight When you rattle his cage And you’ll be sorry that you messed with The u.s. of a. cause well put a boot in your ass Its the american way
God Bless the USA – ‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can’t take that away. And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today. ‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.
The Star Spangled Banner – Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early ligh What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night 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?
Your a grand ole’ flag – You’re a grand old flag, You’re a high flying flag And forever in peace may you wave. You’re the emblem of The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave
Yankee doodle boy – I’m a yankee doodle dandy, yankee doodle do or die, a real live nephew of my uncle Sam…
Halls of Montezuma – From the Halls of Montezuma To the Shores of Tripoli; We will fight our country’s battles In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine.
Anchors Away – Stand Navy out to sea Fight our battle cry We’ll never change our course So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y Roll out the T.N.T. Anchors Aweigh Sail on to victory and Sink their bones to Davy Jones hooray!
What are some of your favorites? Thanks for reading my brain splatter and Happy 4th!!!
