Happy 234th Birthday!



Happy 234th Birthday, America!
I should have made you a cake.


It's the Soldier, not the reporter
who has given us the freedom of the press.

It's the Soldier, not the poet,
who has given us the freedom of speech.

It's the Soldier, not the politicians
that ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

It's the Soldier who salutes the flag,
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag.

It's the Soldier for whom I will be
praying and thanking God for today as I pray.
