This weekend is our celebration of Memorial Day, and given the past year, we are eager for cookouts, picnics, swimming, and lots of fun with other people.
But this is also the time we remember all those who fought for our country – men and women, living and dead, all races, colors, and creeds.
So take a little time to give a prayer of thanks. And heartfelt thanks to those families whose loved ones did not come home. We share your pain.
Here is my favorite rendition of the iconic Lee Greenwood song, God Bless the USA.
Grateful! 💞
Thanks for sharing, Bette!
A gracious reminder, Noelle, of the meaning of the day. Thank you.
Lovely post, Noelle. I have Lee’s song on Mp3. Every time I hear it, I have goose bumps.
Glad you like it, too, MC!
What a wonderful emotional performance, Noelle. That freedom has been severely challenged in the events of the past year. God bless America, indeed! 🙂 🙂
Thanks, Jo. I pray for this country every day!
Indeed. I hope you had a lovely holiday weekend, Noelle. Thanks for the marvelous song. Hugs on the wing!
Gorgeous rendition and it brings tears to my eyes – of pride in our country, of fear for our country, and of love for our country. <3
yes, all of those – pride, fear and love! You summed it up brilliantly!
