Jul 4th Happy 4th of July!

“God Bless America!” If only we could remember the hardship our “Fore-fathers” went through just to get this “melting -pot” of people to join together – to unite under one “Flag” and one “God” with the understanding that if we follow the commands of “God” – we would increase with the promise of abundant blessings for all “Americans!”

As a kid in the “good old days” I remember “Kate Smith” singing “God Bless America” like no one else could do! On the radio station “KMOX” and at 12 o’clock noon, Kate Smith would sing, and as a kid I would join her. That is when I would belt out as loud and as strong as I could sing – so everybody could hear me. Every military song that I heard in those “WAR Years” – I sang with all the power that I could muster up – and today – when I TALK ON THE TELEPHONE – MOST PEOPLE SAY “yes sir” – my voice is as deep as “Lauren Becall’s!”

If you did not get your American Flag – out and hanging for all to see and give Thanks to Almighty God – that we still live in the land of the “Free” and are a “God fearing people” – a country ready to help all people that are in need!

Let us never forget all those who gave the ultimate gift: all the Service Men and Women who gave their life for our “Freedom” – that which we enjoy “TODAY!”
