With all the discord and loathing we see these days from the America bashers, I ask you to take a moment and consider all the good things about your country, this country,
AMERICA
on her 242nd Birthday.
I may just overload you with some Patriotism today in the form of music.
.
These little kids have learned to honor America and to be proud of their heritage.
When I was a student, we were actually taught to love our country.... instead of disparaging it; as seen in so many colleges today.
For the more discerning music tastes here is the US army Band and Chorus, performing the same song.
God Bless America
by KATE Smith

God Bless the USA!
America the Beautiful
Did you sing any of these songs when you were in school? We sang all of them!
Wherever you live in this world, I hope you live in a country that you love too
I sang all these songs and love them and the USA. What a great Constitution and Bill of Rights we have.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! We have a great Constitution, Bill of RIghts and we intend on keeping them intact.
DeleteOh Jeri, thank you SO MUCH for posting these words and the patriotic music, as well!!! I just un-followed someone from the country to the north of us; she wrote a Canada Day post and just had to rat on the country "south of the border." Don't criticize until you've walked in our shoes. And you're right, too many Americans live here and benefit from our many good things, and they can do nothing but run this country down. They're welcome to leave anytime.
ReplyDeleteYour post is just perfect (sorry I had to vent). :D Happy Fourth of July, Jeri!
Hugs,
Denise
Venting is very welcome! As for Canada, "People who live in glass houses, etc. etc".
DeleteSome of the biggest problems we have are the lack of truth, and the distorting of American History. I pity our youth,unless they are home-schooled or have a good teacher, they are taught all the negative aspects of this land of ours and little of it's beautiful and honorable accomplishments.
Beautiful, brought tears to my eyes.

Thanks Lizzy!
ReplyDeleteOh Jeri, thank you so much. It's so refreshing to hear something positive about our beautiful country. Negativity and bashing fix nothing! "Be the change you want to see." From Ruth Ann in Michigan
ReplyDeleteA good Patriotic song can do wonders for the soul!
DeleteThank you for this wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteI heard the America the Beautiful yesterday, and I cried. Yes, we sang all these songs in school, and it's telling how what you are taught as a child STAYS with you! I had a rush of emotions flood my mind and always, when I hear the National Anthem....yes, God bless everyone!
ReplyDeleteI shed a tear or two when I hear God Bless AMerica, truly.
DeleteGod Bless America!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post
great post - love all of it, but Kate Smith...boy could she belt it out!
ReplyDeleteKate Smith was my moms favorite singer, I can see why!
DeleteDear Jeri hearing these songs makes my heart want to burst...especially hearing the children sing. Yes I did sing those songs as a kid. Thanks for such a wonderful post. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHUGS TO YOU!
DeleteThank you.

DeleteI don't know any children - yes,public schooled - who are being taught to hate our wonderful country. Learning all sides of things is being taught how to think.
ReplyDeleteMary
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the school curriculum taught All sides of the story, and some still do, but many textbooks are now slanted toward the left and have been since the 90's. I salute any teachers who tell all the truth about American History
