"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
And to the republic for which it stands,
One nation under God, indivisible,
With liberty and justice for all."
"Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties, above the fruited plains.
America, America, God shed his grace on thee,
and crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea."
"America, America, God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self control,
They liberty in law."
(Katherine Lee Bates, 1913, when viewing the landscape from on top of Pike's Peak in Colorado)
This has been a good Independence Day in the life of Grandma G.
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." (Psalm 33:12)
