just a quick note to wish everyone a Happy 4th-of-July celebration. Be safe, and remember we may not live in a perfect system but it is the best and most coveted country in the world today. Our thanks to the men and women who defend it, past present and future.

 

BOOM,BOOM,BOOM

Today is the 4th of July here on the Island of Guam. It is now 1504 Hours and I'll be joining my family and friends to celebrate Independence Day. We'll be having the annual barbecue get-together and other sorts of goodies, but the biggest part for the scouts and other children in the family is when we drive up the hill (we call it mountain) later in the evening to watch the fireworks at the airbase. From the vantage point, we will be able to see the fireworks at the naval base too.

 

God Bless America, The Scout Movement, The Scouters on this Forum, and our Armed Forces where ever they may be.

There is a song from Stryper (Christian Metal Band from the 1980s) that they sang on the "Can't Stop The Rock" CD that comes in mind concerning July 4. The Song is "Believe" and here are the lyrics:

 

Look what we can do

When we get together

And give support to those on the lines

It's our sons and daughters (Its our sons and daughters)

Our sisters and brothers

We show them we cared (Show them we cared)

If they lived or died

 

In this land of freedom

There's riots in the streets

All in the name of peace

If we stand in unity

We'll win with dignity

Our strength has said it all

Pray and Believe

Oh yeah

 

The wars through the ages

Have taken so many lives

I think of their faces

And the fear in their eyes

With hearts made of courage (Hearts made of courage)

And souls filled with fire

Those who fight for their people (Fight for their people)

Lets lift their names higher

 

In this land of freedom

There's riots in the streets

All in the name of peace

*Yeah*

If we stand in unity

We'll win with dignity

Our strength has said it all

Pray and Believe

 

Our strength has said it all

Pray and Believe (x1)
