style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Frank Sinatra considered Kate Smith the best singer
of
her time, and said that when he and a million other guys first heard her
sing
"God Bless America" on the radio, they all pretended to have dust in their
eyes
as they wiped away a tear or two. Here are the facts... The link at
the
bottom will take you to a video showing the very first public singing of
"GOD
BLESS AMERICA". But before you watch it, you should also know the story
behind
the first public showing of the song. The time was 1940. America was
still
in a terrible economic depression. Hitler was taking over Europe, and
Americans
were afraid we'd have to go to war. It was a time of hardship and worry for
most
Americans. This was the era just before TV, when radio shows were
HUGE,
and American families sat around their radios in the evenings, listening to
their favorite entertainers, and no entertainer of that era was bigger than
Kate
Smith. Kate was also large; plus size, as we now say, and the popular
phrase still used today is in deference to her, "It ain't over till the fat
lady
sings". Kate Smith might not have made it big in the age of TV because
of
her size and appearance, but with her voice coming over the radio, she was
the
biggest star of her time. Back then, music was more important than
appearance or
the “program”. Kate was also patriotic. It hurt her to see Americans so
depressed and afraid of what the next day would bring. She had hope for
America
and faith in her fellow Americans. She wanted to do something to cheer them
up,
so she went to the famous American song-writer, Irving Berlin (who also
wrote
"White Christmas") and asked him to write a song that would make Americans
feel
good again about their country.When she described what she was looking for,
he
said he had just the song for her. He went to his files and found a song
that he
had written but never published, 22 years before -- way back in 1917. He
gave it
to her and she worked on it with her studio orchestra. She and Irving Berlin
were not sure how the song would be received by the public, but both agreed
they
would not take any profits from “God Bless America”. Any profits would go to
the
Boy Scouts of America. Over the years, the Boy Scouts have received millions
of
dollars in royalties from this song. This video starts out with Kate
Smith
coming into the radio studio with the orchestra and an audience. She
introduces
the new song for the very first time and starts singing. After the first
couple
verses, with her voice in the background still singing, scenes are shown
from
the 1940 movie, "You're In the Army Now." At the 4:20 mark of the video you
see
a young actor in the movie, sitting in an office, reading a paper: it's
Ronald
Reagan. To this day, “God Bless America” stirs our patriotic feelings
and
pride in our country. Back in <BR>1940, when Kate Smith went looking for a
song
to raise the spirits of her fellow Americans, I doubt whether she realized
just
how successful the results would be for her fellow Americans during those
years
of hardship and worry..... And for many generations of Americans to follow.
It
has been suggested that this song replace the “Star-Spangled Banner” as our
national anthem because it’s easier to sing, and most folks already know the
words. </FONT></FONT></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN><SPAN

sung..... ENJOY!

Sacrifice Themselves For Others<BR>By Natasha Ishaq<BR><BR>You venture to
the
lands beyond<BR>To the seas that shall forever stand strong<BR>Living as
legends<BR>Dying as heroes<BR><BR>Out on those battlefields<BR>You serve as
our
shields<BR>Bearing those great burdens of pain<BR>Through sunshine and
through
rain<BR><BR>When the homes burn down<BR>And we all weep<BR>When the bombs
explode<BR>And we all loose sleep<BR><BR>Our prayers are with you<BR>Because
we
want you to be safe too<BR>For you are out there sacrificing
yourself<BR>Saving
the lives of others, as it is not one man for himself<BR><BR>Where you go
and
what you do<BR>You are always pushing through<BR>All the war zones of blood
and
death<BR>Where you struggled to catch your breath<BR><BR>Up in the air you
fly<BR>Through the hard-blowing winds that sigh<BR>But come down to respond
to
the injured ones who cry<BR>Calming them down as their tears begin to
dry<BR><BR>Living on the sea<BR>Because an unknown face needed help to be
free<BR>Riding the ocean waves<BR>In order for all those who are lost to be
saved<BR><BR>From the shooting guns<BR>To the many runs<BR>To the child who
is
dying<BR>You carry them away from harm, even though inside crying<BR><BR>Out
there where piercing screams slice the air<BR>Out there where the dirt and
mud
of the earth cling to the clothes you wear<BR>Out there where the arms of
death
may embrace you at any given time<BR>Out there is where you fight for us
while
we wait to hear the chime<BR><BR>The chime telling us that the streets you
roam<BR>Will become the ones of your home<BR>The chime telling us that the
battle is done<BR>And your journey home has just begun<BR><BR>You venture to
the
lands beyond<BR>To the seas that shall forever stand strong<BR>Living as
legends<BR>Dying as heroes<BR><BR>To all of those who serve our
country--soldiers, veterans,<BR>firefighters, physicians, rescue teams,
police
officers--all of you who put<BR>the lives of others before you in times of
great
catastrophe, I thank you<BR>all. Whether you roam the streets today, or rest
at
last in peace, your<BR>efforts and sacrifices are the marks that are forever
engraved in the world<BR>that shall forever remember you, as your simple but
complicated acts of<BR>extreme kindness and compassion speak for
themselves.<BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR>Cadet Private Natasha
Ishaq</FONT></FONT><BR
