O beautiful for heroes provedIn liberating strife.
Who more than self thy country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all sucess be nobleness
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice
For man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer strain
The banner of the FREE!
(A few selections of verses from "America the Beautiful" by Katherine Lee Bates)
THANK YOU VETS AND ALL THOSE SERVING NOW!
