Yes We can, And, Yes We Did, And Now, We Must……

Stand together as one Nation
Join our hands in harmony
...

The whites honor the 'Hermitage'
And the man who once lived there -
But, that leader of our Nation
Was cruel, unjust, unfair -

It's on a beautiful piece of land
With a vast and spacious sky

Eight years after they were formed

She is the real foot-soldier
On rough roads behind at home

There’s too many Gold Star Families
Their numbers growing every day

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4,1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The Best Poem Of Del a.k.a. Abe Jones

Rosie, The Riveter

During World War Two
All around this Nation
Women took up the Battle
Beyond all imagination.

Over six million of them
Traded aprons for coveralls
And answered like true Patriots
When their Country calls.

They worked in every industry
To build the tools of War
From guns and tanks and planes
To ships and so much more.

A key part of our Defense
To free the Men so they could fight
Showing they could do it all
They worked the plants day and night.

Could we have won without them?
Some say it would have been tough
And we never gave them credit
Or at the least, not near enough.

So many years have passed by
With so many changes in our life
Thanks to what all those Ladies did
Who were Sister, Mother, Friend or Wife.
