We Will Remember

We Will Remember
by: Roger W Hancock

Forget not the pain, 
rain of the dead, dying. 
Buildings crumbling, 
security broken. 
Attacks on U.S. soil, 
financed by purchased oil. 
Culture of hate towards, 
cultured affluent compassion. 
Sleepy eyes awake, 
still clouded by liberal wake. 
War continues against terror, 
anti-American sentiment. 
Learning liberty’s price, 
responsible freedom’s way. 
As the Revolutionary War, 
the Alamo, Pearl Harbor, 
we will remember 9-11. 
Day of somber, reflection, 
everyday heroes, 
heroes unsung, 
we will remember, 
each September

Never Forget

Independence Day 2016

"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

On July 4th, 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed, declaring our independence from Great Britain.  It wasn't until 7 years later on September 3, 1783 that Great Britain formally recognized the United States as independent.  We of course celebrate our independence on the 4th of July because that's when our forefathers all agreed that enough was enough & we were independent.

I hope that you're all enjoying your long weekend!  I'll be back tomorrow with a recap of my weekend.

All Gave Some, Some Gave All

With today being Memorial Day I decided I didn't want to do a traditional weekending post.  Besides, all I did all weekend was clean my townhouse & move stuff up to storage so y'all would've been bored to tears.

I hope that y'all are having a great 3 day weekend but take time today to remember those who laid their lives down for our great nation.

God Bless America

Happy Independence Day!
