Stars, Stripes and the Eagle Fly

After much wrangling among ourselves over what to do for the U.S. holiday today, we finally agreed on a video.

The song is "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly." It's sung by Aaron Tippin.




While you're celebrating, take some time to remember all our servicemen and women who have sacrificed life and limb through the years to obtain and retain our freedom.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July,
From all of us at JFF ---

I just saw your comment, and my Mommie does volunteer at the same shelter as Cecil's mom. But she is there on weekends, and my Mommie is there on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so we have never met. I am not sure if she is still coming in on the weekends or not. I miss Cecil, too.
