| HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!!! LAND THAT I LOVE!!!!! JULY 4, 2009!!! God bless our flag, the stars and stripes ... And see it safely through God bless and keep our colors all ... The red, and white, the blue In every war that we have fought ... Our flag has led the way On battlefield, among the clouds ... Beyond and in the bay In all our fights for human rights ... Our banner bright has flown And we Americans are proud ... To claim it for our own Its folds have rested on the graves ... Of heroes near and far A colony in every stripe ... A state in every star An dnow it guides us on our way ... To triumph great and new God bless our flag, the stars and stripes ... and see it safely through! -- James J. Metcalfe "O God, Who in this land has made the people the ministers of Thy just rule; So turn their hearts unto Thee, that holding their citizenship as a trust from Thee, they may guard, defend and use it according to Thy will, and that, serving Thee with willing, joyful and obedient hearts they may cherish their freedom as a blessing of Thy Gospel, and strive to bring it unto all peoples...." and, too, "Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, we commit ourselves and all who have entered the service of our country to Thy care and protection; bring us all to a living knowledge of Thee and Thy Salvation; let Thy Word be our guide, stay, and comfort; protect us from the manifold temptations which beset our path; preserve us from sickness and disease, and in the hour of battle let our lives be precious in Thy sight;" preserve those who shall suffer and we who survive "for a life devoted to Thy service, through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord. Amen" - Army, Navy Service Book, received at Fort Meade, MD 1952 GOD BLESS ALL ASA KOREA MEMBERS AND FAMILIES !! GOD BLESS AMERICA!! IN GOD WE TRUST, ALWAYS!!
