HAPPY FORTH OF JULY
American Spirit
By
Bill Fries (AKA C. W. [Convoy] McCall)
How ‘bout them fireworks? Pretty cool huh?
Ever wonder why we shoot. Them off on the Fourth?
It’s because we are celebrating our Freedom.
It’s because we are Americans.
And it’s our birthday!
The first three words of the Constitution:
We the People…
We the people and celebratin’ our independence
We are The Declaration of Independence
And the Star Spangle Banner up there in the sky.
We are the Rocket’s Red Glare, the Bombs Burstin in Air.
We are The Fourth of July!
We are The Pledge of Alliance we say to our Flag
The Stars and Strips Forever!
We are the Republic for which it stands.
The United States of America.
Remember?
We are that One Nation, under God,
Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All
And because we all live in the Land of the Free
We don’t have to say it at all
Unless we want to.
You wanta be counted?
Then stand up and shout it!
Make sure the whole world gets to hear it!
You wanta talk freedom?
We know all about it!
We are the American Spirit!

The following words were spoken by the late Red Skelton on his television program as he related the story of his teacher, Mr. Laswell, who felt his students had come to think of the Pledge of Allegiance as merely something to recite in class each day.
And a little fun from the guys at JibJab:
It is with great pride that we announce our latest JibJab featuring the US Presidents singing the Star Spangled Banner:
It's not a typical "skewer them alive" kind of JibJab, but rather our own mini-celebration of the greatest @#$% country in the history of human civilization. We hope you enjoy it.
Enjoy your Weekend-Keep it safe and sane.
And remember what it is all about.
