The Day Before Memorial Day
God Bless America
Written by: Irving Berlin

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

God Bless America.
Land that I love
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam


      No matter what the image is, or what the critics say, this is still the greatest place in the world in which to live. May God always guide our nation's course in the greater scheme of history. May we learn from those who have fought on our country's behalf, and those who have lost their lives. We may not be called to risk life or limb on behalf of America, but we, too, must prove our love of country. Let us put aside our self-centered ways and find our own personal way to inconvenience ourselves on behalf of America.
