O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

This is a special day to celebrate FREEDOM! Freedom from tyranny and the freedom to worship as we choose, among numerous others.
May God bless America!
May God bless America and those who defend her.

On July 3, 1776, just a day after the Continental Congress voted for independence on July 2, Adams wrote a letter to his wife, Abigail, expressing his belief that the occasion would be commemorated for generations to come. He described an elaborate celebration that included "pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more".

From sea to shining sea! Amen! Unfortunately, the last four years under a puppet president demonstrates that we shouldn't take our Freedom and our Constitutional Rights for granted.

Happy 249th. Beginning of the fireworks on the Mall taken from Fr. Meyers beside Arlington Cemetary. The whole horizon was lit with fireworks going off from surrounding neighborhoods, hamlets and communities. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/JYT4ZP8.jpg)
