I love thine iron chime,
To life or death, to heaven or hell,
Which calls the sons of Time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What if there was no America?
What if Leif Erickson hadn’t traveled past Iceland and landed at New Foundland?
What if Columbus hadn’t discovered this land?
What if the Pilgrims hadn’t come here to escape the persecution of religious beliefs?
What if there was no revolution to free us from the rule of England?
What if all the wars and fights to keep this country free never happened and we were still under the rule of another country, Monarch, dictator or regime?
What if there was no America?
Where would you be and what would you be doing?
I am very grateful that the Almighty caused this land to be discovered and that He gave us this land that is choice above all other lands.
There is an America and we are free. It did and does not come free though. It was bought at a price, a very high price.
From Bunkers Hill, to the Alamo, to Mexico, to Gettysburg, to San Juan, to World War I, to World War II, to Korea, to Vietnam, to Kuwait, to Iraq, this land has fought that others may be free. I love this land and am PROUD OF HER.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
