Today is Monday, May 31st, 2010; Karen's Korner #1831

Happy Memorial Day! I usually don't do web sites for Karen's Korners, but I received this one overnight and really liked it as we celebrate and remember:
 

From the third graders of Tussing Elementary, Colonial Heights, Virginia.

The words to "My Country 'Tis of Thee", as a tribute to soldiers who have fought, served, and died for our country:

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!
       My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.
