These quotes from two former Presidents of the United States speak strongly of our America in 2013:
"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," - Thomas Jefferson
"The country that forgets it defenders will itself be forgotten," Calvin Coolidge
How long has it been since we stood up and declared," I am proud to be an American where... I know I’m free?" - Lee Greenwood’s "God Bless the U.S.A."
I remember so vividly the flag that hung in my classroom as a child. My heart still thrills to see our beautiful flag fluttering over school houses and parks and waving festively during parades.
The Red, White and Blue reminds me of the strength, the courage and the sacrifice of those who are and who have fought to maintain freedom for the American people.
II Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
"I am proud to be an American."
