Such As These By Ricky L Gibbs
Still love this country called America. Home of the free and the brave, A place where the doors are open wide and Old Glory proudly waves. No rules are set that favor one over others gathered here. But there is no place for any group that would try to undermine with fear. For many a life has been sacrificed defending this land that they loved. Many a family shed mournful tears while Gods's angels gathered above. Flag draped coffins coming home. Heroes every one. They gave their all in times of war, for such as these never run. Still love this country called America. Because everyone has a voice. And not one is forced to be here. They are here because of free choice.
