Happy Independence Day!




The Price of Freedom



Today we celebrate freedom,
thanks to those who came before.
Those brave men who fought and died,
in each and every war.
Freedom always comes at a price,
And while we celebrate,
We should tip our hats to the heroes,
who made our country great.



The Flag

By Michelle Selby



Published on April 2009:



Red for the bloodshed in the name of Freedom,
for which we fought, united,
Blue for the oceans of time we have crossed,
remaining the land of the free,
White for the peace we wish to share,
all men created equal,



Stars to remember those who fought throughout the night,
bravely for our land,
Stripes to remind us of the lashings taken by the Prisoners of War,



With a seal, in God we trust,
We each are one of many, in which we stand united in Brotherhood,
A symbol of Pride,
A salute to those who died in the fight,
A blanket to cover us in times of need,
Waving high to show we are still here, undefeated,
With honor you are presented to the world.



Enjoy today with family and friends, but always remember the reasons why we
celebrate this day.
