INDEPENDENCE DAY Thank A Soldier! ** Image ID #844744 Unavailable ** It's a time for family and friends to celebrate with fireworks and food; Too easily taken for granted by those of us who are just "not in the mood" To think about how we gained freedom and about how we keep it today, Take time, friend, to thank a soldier who helped to keep tyranny at bay. Its meaning is quite often hidden in the spirit of having some fun, Watching the fireworks brighten the sky and when the day's over, it's done! Yet the soldiers who carry the flag and hold it real high, with respect, know that the cost of our freedom is something we should never neglect. It's a time to remember the fallen, and to step up, determined to try to carry on with what they started; Look a soldier straight in the eye! While hot dogs and burgers are eaten and drinks are the rule of the day; Do you wonder what they are doing, gone so many long miles away? They didn't ask for a battle, and they know some of them will die; Yet freedom is why they are fighting, love of country and mom's apple pie. Now to some that may sound corny, and a flag-waving patriot I may be, but I'll not take freedom lightly; Independence Day means so much to me. Countrymom 7/3/04 |
