O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife,
 |
| My father with US Army troops in Japan, WWII |
Who more than self their country loved,
 |
| My son with US Marines, Ramadi, Iraq |
And mercy more than life!
 |
| My dad in New Guinea, WWII |
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
 |
| My son in Camp Pendleton, CA |
And crown they good with brotherhood
 |
| My son in Salt Lake City, Utah |
From sea to shining sea!
Happy 237th Birthday, America!
AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL, Words, Katharine Lee Bates, 1893. Tune MATERNA, Samuel A. Ward, c. 1885.
