What difference if I hail from North or South | |
Or from the East or West? | |
My heart is filled with love | |
For all of these. | |
I only know I swell with pride | |
And deep within my breast | |
I thrill to see Old Glory | |
Paint the breeze. | |
With hand upon my heart, | |
I thank the Lord for this, my native land, | |
for all I love is here within her gates | |
My soul is rooted deeply in the soil on which I stand, | |
for these are mine, my own United States! | |
This is my country | |
Land of my birth | |
This is my country | |
Grandest on Earth | |
This is my country! | |
Land of my choice! | |
This is my country! | |
Hear my proud voice! | |
I pledge thee my allegiance, | |
America, the bold, | |
For this is my country! | |
To have and to hold. | |
Lyrics by: Don Raye | |
Music by: Al Jacobs | |
[I am a first generation American. My father was born in Ireland and came to America as a teen. My mother was born in Mexico, but came here within a year of birth and was raised here in America. My parents were divorced and I have no idea if my dad ever became a U.S. citizen or not. My mother did not. She is still a Mexican national. I was born here in the United States, as were my sister and brother. I volunteered for four years of active duty in the Army near the end of the Vietnam Era. I also served in the Army Reserves when my active duty was completed. Including my civilian time as a Federal employee, I have over 26 years in service to my country. | |
All I can say to President Trump and any other Republican who would claim I’m not a “REAL” American “just” because I was born here is: “This is MY country! And I ain’t goin’ anywhere…!!” — KMAB] | |
