Happy Birthday, America!

We, on this continent, should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs,

but to secure liberty for their souls.

~Robert J. McCracken

Where liberty dwells, there is my country.

~Benjamin Franklin

All we have of freedom, all we use or know;

This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.

~Rudyard Kipling, The Old Issue, 1899

From every mountainside, Let Freedom ring.

~Samuel F. Smith, "America"

And 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.

~Lee Greenwood

Happy 4th of July to you all! And a huge thank you to all the brave men and women who serve our country, and for the sacrifices their families make...
