Who doesn’t cry on the Fourth of July
when Old Glory so proudly waves?
Whose heart doesn’t pound at the very sound
of ten guns at the warrior graves?
Do you feel a slight chill with hand over heart
as the Star Spangled Banner is played?
Does a tear trickle down your cheek
seeing Vets march in a parade?
Does the sight of a child clutching a flag
make you hopeful for the future of man
Do you feel pride in your birthright today
from whence this greatness began?
If you answered yes to all the above
if your country you will defend
then you are the greatest of patriots,
a true American, my friend.

BRAVO!!! Oh Sharon, this is wonderful, sweet friend, this brought tears to my eyes reading this because I am so happy to be an American and I stand proudly to hope for the best even through the aftermath of 9/11! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, God Bless America, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

A great tribute to FREEDOM and AMERICAN PATRIOTISM at a much needed time. We should never take what we have in America for granted, for it could all be gone tomorrow.
