An early Happy Birthday America and to the Bronco Nation! I hung the bunting this morning and have Old Glory flying out front.

We have so much to be thankful for and we owe our gratitude and grace for those who fought for our freedom.

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday.

God Bless America! Freedom isn't free. I have a ton of gratitude and for those who gave us this beautiful day. Our heritage is in World War I and World War II. May God bless the families that have given so much and open the eyes to those who take freedom for grated. May strong men prevail. Independence forever!

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday as well.

AMEN!! God Bless this Country and all those that fought to protect it.

Old Glory and the Globe & Anchor from my front porch. We are truly blessed--let's not take our freedoms for granted. It must be defended against "enemies both foreign and domestic."

Indeed. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

I am happy for independence day But I also work on the 4th of July so it's always a fun day
filled with injuries and drunks

MY NAME IS "OLD GLORY".
I FLY ATOP THE WORLD'S TALLEST BUILDINGS,
I STAND WATCH IN AMERICA'S HALLS OF JUSTICE,
I FLY MAJESTICALLY OVER GREAT INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING,
I STAND GUARD WITH THE GREATEST MILITARY POWER IN THE WORLD.
LOOK UP! AND SEE ME.

“I STAND FOR PEACE – HONOR - TRUTH AND JUSTICE.
I STAND FOR FREEDOM.
I AM CONFIDENT
I AM ARROGANT
I AM PROUD.

WHEN I AM FLOWN WITH MY FELLOW BANNERS,
MY HEAD IS A LITTLE HIGHER
MY COLORS A LITTLE TRUER
I BOW TO NO ONE!!!

I AM RECOGNIZED ALL OVER THE WORLD,
I AM WORSHIPPED - I AM SALUTED - I AM RESPECTED.
I AM REVERED - I AM LOVED AND I AM FEARED!

I HAVE FOUGHT IN EVERY BATTLE OF EVERY WAR FOR MORE THAN 200 YEARS:
GETTYSBURG, SHILO, APPOMATTOX, SAN JUAN HILL, THE TRENCHES OF FRANCE, THE ARGONNE FOREST, ANZIO, ROME, THE BEACHES OF NORMANDY, GUAM,
OKINAWA, TARAWA, KOREA, VIETNAM, THE PERSIAN GULF AND A SCORES OF PLACES LONG FORGOTTEN BY ALL
EXCEPT BY THOSE WHO WERE THERE WITH ME,
I WAS THERE!!

I LED MY SAILORS AND MARINES
I FOLLOWED THEM
I WATCHED OVER THEM
THEY LOVED ME!!

I WAS ON A SMALL HILL ON IWO JIMA,
I WAS DIRTY, BATTLE WORN AND TIRED
BUT MY SAILORS AND MARINES CHEERED ME!
AND I WAS PROUD!!!

I WAS AT GROUND ZERO IN NEW YORK CITY ON SEPTEMBER 11TH AS COWARDLY FANATICS ATTACKED AMERICA.
I WAS RAISED FROM THE ASHES OF ONCE PROUD BUILDINGS BY BRAVE FIREFIGHTERS.
HEROES, WHO RISKED THEIR LIVES TO SAVE OTHERS, SHOWING ALL THAT AMERICA, ALTHOUGH BLOODIED, WILL NEVER BE BEATEN.

THOSE WHO WOULD DESTROY ME CANNOT WIN
FOR I AM THE SYMBOL OF FREEDOM,
OF ONE NATION UNDER GOD
INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

I HAVE BEEN SOILED, BURNED, TORN AND TRAMPLED ON THE STREETS OF MY OWN COUNTRY
AND WHEN IT IS BY THOSE WHOM I HAVE SERVED WITH IN BATTLE, IT HURTS.
BUT I SHALL OVERCOME
FOR I AM STRONG!

I HAVE SLIPPED THE SURELY BONDS OF EARTH
AND FROM MY VANTAGE POINT ON THE MOON;
I STAND WATCH OVER THE UNCHARTED NEW FRONTIERS OF SPACE.

I HAVE BEEN A SILENT WITNESS
TO ALL OF AMERICA'S FINEST HOURS,
BUT MY FINEST HOUR COMES
WHEN I AM TORN IN STRIPS,
TO BE USED AS BANDAGES FOR MY WOUNDED COMRADES ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE
WHEN I FLY HALF MAST TO HONOR MY SOLDIERS,
AND WHEN I LIE IN THE TREMBLING ARMS OF A GRIEVING MOTHER,
AT THE GRAVE-SITE OF HER FALLEN SON OR DAUGHTER
I AM PROUD!!!!

MY NAME IS "O L D G L O R Y"
LONG MAY I WAVE DEAR GOD
LONG MAY I WAVE.


This is the script from The Old Glory Ceremony conducted in the military. When done properly, not a dry eye around. May god bless the United States and long wave the 🇺🇸!!!!

Thank you for posting. This is a great reminder for each of us who enjoy the freedom brought to us by those who have served and are serving.

I just listened to Johnny Cash’s song “Ragged Old Flag.” He wrote it in 1974 during the turmoil of Watergate as his way of reaffirming faith in our country and the goodness of the American people. I was a young man at the time and I remember the impact those words had for me.

If you like Aaron Lewis, his song “ Am I the only one “ is awesome!!!

Happy 4th of July!

Was talking to my wife a bit this weekend about our National Anthem and it's origins.

For those unaware it comes from a poem by Francis Scott Key during the Battle of 1812 near Baltimore, MD. The lyrics for the National Anthem pull primarily from the first verse of the poem, but it's actually four verses long. Worth a read. It was originally written in 1814, but wasn't popular until the late 1800s, and didn't become our official National Anthem until the 1930s.

Video we came across while discussing it that Mike Rowe recently released. Props to the Ranger for having as much passion as he does about our nation's history.

Also, happy belated Canada Day (July 1st) to our neighbors and fellow Bronco owners up north.
