July 4th 1776-2014. . . 238 years!

Independence day, oh what a day!
A day for celebrations, family and friends.
But Independence day is so much more,
much more then games, fireworks and fun.
It's a day to remember what's gone before.
A day to remember what our forefathers told.
Of the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Purchased by many a young sons' blood.
Who believed in the cause of Liberty for all,
Justice for the wronged, the freedom of a people,
and the birth of a nation.
In God we trust, may we always trust.
And remember the sacrifice done for us,
in the land of the free and the home of the brave,
where the star-spangled banner forever doth wave.

Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin a reproach to any people.
