I should be posting a photo of fireworks later tonight, but I haven't mastered that skill yet. So, please enjoy my photo of the American Flag and California State Flag as you read the lyrics below taken from Lee Greenwood's song titled "God Bless the USA":
From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas
from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.,
There’s pride in every American heart
and it’s time we stand and say:
I’m proud to be an American
where at least I know I’m free,
And I won’t forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
