Cinga Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I saw this this morning, the last thing Charlie Daniels wrote on his blog........ Excuse me, I think I got something in my eye.... My Beautiful America Have you ever spent the late afternoon, Watching the purple shadows deepen in the Arizona desert? Or seen a herd of Elk plow their way Through waist-deep snow on a cold Colorado dawn? Did you ever see the sun go down in Hawaii Or seen the stormy waves break over the rockbound coast of Maine Or have you ever see an eagle fly up out of the mists of Alaska Or a big October moon hanging full over the still Dakota badlands? Have you ever tasted the gumbo in New Orleans, barbecue in Carolina Or the chicken wings in Buffalo? Have you ever had Brunswick stew in Macon, or cornbread in Birmingham? Or briskets slow cook over hill country mesquite wood? Did you ever drink the water from a gurgling branch in Utah, Or stand on the mountain above El Paso Del Norte And see the lights twinkling clear over into Mexico Did you ever jingle horses in the pre-dawn stillness of a perfect Texas day And watch their shod hooves kicking up sparks on the volcanic rock? Or tended a trotline on a foggy Carolina morning, Or heard the distant love song of a lovesick whippoorwill On a pristine Tennessee late night? Have you seen the faces on Mount Rushmore or stood at the Vietnam monument? Have you ever crossed the mighty Mississippi, Or been to the Daddy of ‘Em All in Cheyenne, Wyoming Or seen the mighty Vols run out on the football field on a chilly autumn afternoon? Did you ever see the Chicago skyline from Lakeshore Drive at night Or the New England foliage in the fall, Or the summer beauty of the Shenandoah Valley, Or Indiana covered with new snow? Did you ever seen a herd of wild horses running free Across the empty spaces of Nevada? Or caught a walleyed pike out of a cold Wisconsin stream, Or marveled at the tall ships docked in the harbor at Baltimore? Did you ever see the early morning dew sparkling on the bluegrass, Or the wind stir the wheat fields on a hot Kansas afternoon Or driven the lonely stretches of old Route 66 Have you ever heard the church bells peal their call to worship On an early Sunday, in some small town in the Deep South? Or passed through the Redwood Forest just as the sun was going down Have you ever been to Boise or Baxley or Beaufort or Billings? Have you ever passed through Sanford or Suffolk or San Angelo Have you ever seen the falls at Niagara The Ice Palace in Saint Paul Or the Gateway to the West? This then is America! The land God blesses with everything And no Eiffel Tower: no Taj Mahal, No Alps, No Andes No native hut, nor Royal Palace - Can rival her awesome beauty, Her diverse population, her monolithic majesty. America the Free America the mighty America the beautiful 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. What do you think? Pray for our troops, and for the peace of Jerusalem. God Bless America — Charlie Daniels 3 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Good bye to a great hero NYC Rabbi 'Romi' Cohn, a Holocaust survivor, dies of coronavirus complications at 91 By Ray Sanchez, CNN Updated 3:00 PM ET, Thu March 26, 2020 Rabbi "Romi" Cohn in February 2015. (CNN)New York City Rabbi Avraham Hakohen "Romi" Cohn, who survived the Holocaust and saved dozens of families from the genocide, has died of complications from coronavirus, a family member said Thursday. He was 91. Cohn, who led the House of Representatives in opening prayer in January for the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and International Holocaust Remembrance Day, died on Tuesday after being hospitalized last Friday, according to his sister-in-law, Judy Geld, and great nephew, Shulem Geldzahler. Geldzahler said Cohn's death certificate indicates he died of acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by pneumonia and Covid-19. Geldzahler said Cohn was tested for coronavirus but he was not aware of the result. Rep. Max Rose, who represents the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn where Cohn served, recalled the rabbi's "life of service" via Twitter on Tuesday, posting video of Cohn's prayer before the House in January. "Rabbi Cohn lived an incredible life of service, helping 56 families escape Nazi tyranny," Rose wrote. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
