On this July 4th, the 227th anniversary of founding of the U.S.A., may God extend His blessings on all Americans. We should all be proud to live in a free country were religious freedom is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
May God bless the U.S.A.!

May the Lord continue to bless the United States with freedom under law based on justice grounded in His Love. May He grant that we work to ensure that all people share in her bounty.

The fireworks began long ago. Long may they signal the fire of struggle to build one nation under God.

Amen, Ung - and may we be vigilant against those who would presume to take those freedoms and liberty away from us.

From "The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America"

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

Dear Friends,

God bless America!

And may the USA continue in its struggle to realize the ideals of its founding fathers.

While I certainly believe that God is blessing a remnant, I think that God Save America would be more appropriate.
