Stars and Stripes

I hope everyone has a fun and safe Independence Day.  With all the craziness going on in the country now, I hope everyone takes a moment to reflect on the values on which this country was built.  God Bless America...please!!!  We sure need it.

Aaron Tippin had a song back in 2001 called Where the Stars and Stripes and Eagle Fly and it is so fitting for this time. THIS is my vision of America.

Well if you ask me where I come from

Here's what I tell everyone

I was born by God's dear grace

In an extraordinary place

Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

It's a big 'ol land with countless dreams

Happiness ain't out of reach

Hard work pays off the way it should

Yeah, I've seen enough to know that we've got it good

Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

There's a lady that stands in a harbor

For what we believe

And there's a bell that still echoes

The price that it cost to be free

I pledge allegiance to this flag

And if that bothers you, well that's too bad

But if you got pride and you're proud you do

Hey, we could use some more like me and you

Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

Yes there's a lady that stands in a harbor

For what we believe

And there's a bell that still echoes

The price that it cost to be free

No, it ain't the only place on earth

But it's the only place that I prefer

To love my wife and raise my kids

Hey, the same way that my daddy did

Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

Where the stars and stripes and the eagle...fly

Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
