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.
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.
Oh beautiful
for HEROS 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.
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self control,
Thy liberty in law.
Thank you to all those who have served our country! You make America the greatest country in the world. You are normal men and women who are willing to sacrifice your life for your neighbor. You are selfless, you are strong, you are patriotic, you are honorable, you are dedicated, you are our HEROS!
Also, thank you to the families who have stood behind and supported all the men and women in uniform. In the coming weeks and months I look forward to bringing you a new blog feature, "Military Moments". We will never be able to properly thank all those who have gone before us and served or those who continue to give to this country, but we can say thank you to them as well as those who stand behind them!
Today, remember to thank a hero!!!

I'm not even an American and I'm touched and moved by your beautiful post, thank you Hopsy and I look forward to your new feature.
A beautiful post! Today is a day to remember that it's more than just a "day off" of work for those that are off, it's a day to thank our Vets and all that they do, as well as thank the current men and women serving!

I actually stopped a woman solider in Barnes & Noble this weekend to say thank you! And my little girl prays for the soldiers ever night during prayers. Thank you for all your positivity around our military and keeping us ever mindful of all that they do!
