We must never forget everything that our country went through to become what it is today. We must constantly remind ourselves of our freedoms and how fortunate we are to have the freedom to worship God! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

The events selected depict the very historical events that should make every citizen proud to be an American citizen. To our shame, most of the above has little or no meaning or value to the average citizen because we have forgotten our heritage.
