~Happy Birthday America!!!~

  

A lady stands in the harbor  The price of freedom  Where the eagle flies

One nation under God
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the republic for which it stands:
one nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

Through the flashing bars of July.

Apricots and gillyflowers.
