It's time to celebrate Americas birthday. Happy Birthday, America! Independence Day is a good time to show our patriotism. More than flags, fireworks, and fun, let's also remember to show our appreciation. When is the birthday of America? What happened almost 225 years ago? When is the Independence Day holiday observed? Why is it sometimes on July 3rd or July 5th? Find out how people nowadays celebrate this important holiday - in many different ways. Find out the meaning of Independence Day, when the declaration - what we know today as the Declaration of Independence - was first published. This short 1 verse poem celebrates a patriotic symbol, the American flag. It even has a day of its own. Millions of soldiers have fought under it, many gave their lives fighting for what it stands. It's not the cloth, but what it represents - a united country.
The first poem "How Blest We Are" is a patriotic poem about the blessings we have living in a free country. The second poem "Stand Tall" is a call to freedom. Let us cherish our history, our culture, and especially our freedoms.

On Americas Birthday, and often throughout the year, let's remember to show God our deep appreciation for:
If you don't think it's a great country, then go get your praying boots on and ask God what you can do about it. And like a good father, he'll tell you to quit your complaining and start by being grateful for what you have. And while you're on your knees - because that's what made this country great - you can remember to pray for the rulers and citizens of America. And for future generations as well. God-fearing people is what made - and will continue to make - this country great. Happy Birthday America! Happy Birthday to all Americans - past, present, and future! Thank your stars!
