I pledge allegiance to the flag Of the United States of America, And to the republic For which it stands, One nation under God, indivisible, With liberty and justice for all.

The Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say can you see

by the dawn's early light

What so proudly we hailed

at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars

thru the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched

were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare,

the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night

that our flag was still there.

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

America

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!

Welcome HomeI can see your face in a picture, I can hear your voice on the phone.Thanks for all you’ve done for me.I hope you never felt alone.Never once were you forgotten.I thought about you every day.Every star I’d wish uponI’d close my eyes and say,

Welcome home to America. Welcome home. Welcome home.Oh, the wish I made has finally come

true.You have never been forgotten and we thank you every dayWelcome home, we’ve been waiting

for you.

I wonder ‘bout you every morning,and when the sun has set in the west.I think about your sacrifice,you’ve given us your very best.Some have lived and died for freedom.With honor you gave your all.Someday soon true peace will come,then you will hear me call,

Welcome home to America. Welcome home. Welcome home.Oh, the wish I made has finally

come true.You have never been forgotten and we thank you every dayWelcome home, we’ve been waiting

for you.

Welcome home. Welcome home.Welcome home. Welcome home.Welcome home, we’ve been waiting for youWelcome home.

God Bless America, Land that I love.

Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam

God bless America, My home sweet home.

God bless America, My home sweet home.
