My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
Our father's God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.

Great Posting,I hope that you had a great Mother's day.
I thank God he planted me in the USA. No greater country in the whole wide world.
God bless those who work everyday to keep it that way.
My reader is alphabetical and Airman Mom is first, how lucky can a guy be, I get to read this post first while lee greenwood sings, God Bless The USA.
A truly inspirational song, AM. And I'm glad you got to hear from both of your heroes.
