Freedom's natal day is here.
Fire the guns and shout for freedom,
See the flag above unfurled!
Hail the stars and stripes forever,
Dearest flag in all the world.
~Florence A. Jones
Where liberty dwells, there is my country.
~Benjamin Franklin
Lord, bid war's trumpet cease;Fold the whole earth in peace.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes
Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all!
By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.
~John Dickinson
All we have of freedom, all we use or know
This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.
~Rudyard Kipling, The Old Issue, 1899
My patriotic heart beats red, white, and blue.

What a wonderful post! I hope your forth was a great one. Hugs and blessings sent to you and JD.
This is such an awesome post for your country, Jo! We never do that. I even forgot my country's independence day.
Such lovely graphics, photos and sentiments. I love the 4th of July. It's so traditional and uncommercial. Just a patriotic love-fest of what makes this country great. Hope you had a good one. Love the music. How do you do that?
Hugs.
I hope you had a lovely 4th. Your post is great. I love the inspirational quotes and the watermellon baby is just darling!
Hope your 4th was fun, lots of good friends and good eats. We had a quiet day. So nice to have him home for a few days.
Best to you and thank you for your visits, Barbara
