This week\u00a0I\u00a0wish to share something very important with you (thanks Judy for sending), that’s why I brought it along to the Inspiration Station this 4th of July as I think we need to do something just to remind us all why this day is so important. I hope that all my good friends gathered here at the Inspiration Station will be inspired to help our Holy Crusade which starts right now on the 4th of July, doesn’t that just sound so dramatic, don’t you think?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"HAPPY<\/span>\u00a04TH<\/span>\u00a0OF<\/span>\u00a0JULY 2012<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE\u00a0FLAG,\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

OF THE UNITED\u00a0STATES OF AMERICA,\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

AND TO THE REPUBLIC,\u00a0<\/strong>FOR WHICH IT STANDS <\/strong><\/p>\n

ONE NATION UNDER GOD,\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.<\/strong><\/p>\n

*******HAPPY<\/span>\u00a04TH<\/span>\u00a0OF<\/span>\u00a0JULY*******<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n
\n

\"\"<\/em><\/strong>Keep It Lit!! Keep It Lit! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For all of our other military personnel, where ever they may be.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>
\nPlease\u00a0Support all of the troops defending our Country.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
\nAnd God Bless our Military<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>who are protecting our Country for our Freedom.
\nThanks to them, and their sacrifices, we can celebrate the 4th of July.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of which we should be eternally grateful.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I watched the flag pass by one day.\u00a0<\/em>
\nIt fluttered in the breeze.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"A young Marine saluted it,\u00a0a<\/em>nd then he stood at ease.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
\nI looked at him in uniform;\u00a0<\/em>so young, so tall, so proud.
\nWith hair cut square and eyes alert,\u00a0he’d stand out in any crowd.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>
\nI thought how many men like him\u00a0<\/em>had fallen through the years.
\nHow many died on foreign soil;\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

how many mothers’ tears?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

How many pilots’ planes shot down?\u00a0<\/em>How many died at sea?
\nHow many foxholes were soldiers’ graves?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

NO, FREEDOM ISN’T FREE !<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"I heard the sound of Taps one night,\u00a0<\/em>when everything was still.
\nI listened to the bugler play and felt a sudden chill.
\nI wondered just how many times that Taps had meant ‘Amen.’<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>
\nWhen a flag had draped a coffin\u00a0<\/em>of a brother or a friend.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>
\nI thought of all the children,<\/strong>\u00a0of the mothers and the wives,\u00a0of fathers, sons and husbands\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>with interrupted lives.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong>I thought about a graveyard<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>At the bottom of the sea,<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>and of all the unmarked graves in\u00a0 Arlington .\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong>NO, FREEDOM ISN’T FREE\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong>Enjoy Your Freedom<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0God Bless Our Troops.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you receive this,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>please stop for a moment\u00a0and say a prayer for our servicemen.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nOf all the gifts you could give a U.S. Soldier, prayer is the very best one.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
