Happy 4th of July

The Pride of Our Country

by Roger Robicheau

Today as before, our brave do fight

For a land they love, a flag so right

The pride of our country, yes they are

The strength of our nation, best by far

Just as our brave from each war gone by

They march for us proudly, flag held high

From all over this land they come to serve

They’re taught by the best, this they deserve

When troops give their all, the world does see

Whether serving on land, in the air, or at sea

The pride from this country, march through war

With home drawn strength, held deep in their core

Our best are so awesome, their loved ones well know

May God guide their journey where they - for us - go

What these brave must have is support from their own

The love from their people, firm thankfulness shown

Our greatest achievement is that we’re still free

Please take time and ponder who caused this to be
