May we “highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” — Abraham Lincoln — at Gettysburg.

We are a nation under God, and I believe God intended for us to be free. We must realize that no arsenal or no wepaon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. — President Ronald Reagen –Hillsdale College — Mansion of the Lord

This July 4th let us honor and salute the heroes who have gifted us our FREEDOM

Thank you to all of our veterans!

 Let’s join together to honor the sacrifices made by all of those who have served our country.

It’s not perfect, that part is true, but let’s save the place where freedom was born.

 Lyrics by Randall Mitchum

ABOUT THE VIDEO

This tribute video combines powerful imagery of American sacrifice, remembrance ceremonies, military memorials, veterans, families, and patriotic reflection to help preserve the meaning of Memorial Day for future generations.

—This song is to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice —

  including not only those lost in combat, but also those who survived the battlefield and later lost their lives to the wounds of war after coming home. 

This is an anthem of remembrance, honor, and resolve.

This is a song that lives between sorrow and strength — a heavy-hearted remembrance of sacrifice, and a call to never forget those who gave everything.

Happy 250th Birthday America

A LETTER TO AMERICA

 

From a man Who has never seen our shores Yet still believes in what we our.

DO YOU STILL BELIEVE IN AMERICA?

 Verse 1 I grew up hearing stories On an old TV screen They said America was a giant Losing faith inside a dream They spoke of endless conflicts Of greed and broken trust A nation built on power A kingdom built on dust

Verse 2

I watched classmates disappear Bound for California Or places I couldn’t pronounce Back when I was young And I kept asking softly A question no one liked.

“If the house is really burning,

Why is everyone running inside?”

Chorus

America I’ve never seen your mountains I’ve never seen your plains But your name still travels farther Than power ever could For those denied their freedom For those still seeking hope For those searching for a future They cannot find at home America Maybe that’s why The world still calls your name

Verse 3

The years turned into decades My hair began to gray The answers weren’t in headlines They found me anyway I found them in a sentence Written long ago…

That “All men are created equal”

Simple words Powerful enough To frighten tyrants still today

Final Chorus

For two hundred and fifty years You’ve carried more than your own dreams You’ve carried the hopes of strangers You’ll never know or meet They look westward Toward a distant light The land of the free And the home of the brave

Not because you’re perfect Not because you’re stronger

But because you remind the world What free people can become.

Outro

Now I understand Why we call you 美 — Beautiful 利 — Prosperous 坚 — Strong. America, May you remain beautiful, May you stay strong.

From a man Who has never seen your shores, Yet still believes In what you mean

A LETTER to AMERICA from an ordinary CHINESE MAN. -- Lei
