America The Beautiful
I’m sure that almost everyone has heard the song America The Beautiful at least once in their lifetime but have you ever really sat back and thought about how beautiful she really is?
Of course she has so much to offer in the way of beautiful freedom and democracy and that is what so many people think about when they think of America, but have you ever thought about just how many beautiful sites she has in your own backyard…if you happen to live in America?
A friend of mine made a comment to me the other day that he is always amazed how when people go on vacation they always want to go “Overseas” or to some other country that borders her like Canada or Mexico and half of the time these same people have never really seen what “their own backyard” has to offer them first!
After sitting back and thinking about it I soon saw that he was right of course.
Personally I have traveled a lot “Overseas” and in the border countries of America and in fact I have lived in The Netherlands for the past 15 years, so I may seem like one of those people that I have mentioned above…But I’m Not!
Before I started venturing out of America I had traveled very extensively throughout all of the U.S.A. I have personally seen from sea to shining sea and trust me, everything in between over a dozen times.
I made most of my travels in a car and not flying over the top of her, (although I have done that a number of times also and she is almost as beautiful 30,000 feet above her as she is on the ground, but it is definitely not the same), so I know just how beautiful America really is.
But for those of you that have not been as fortunate as I have been to travel so extensively in America or for those of you that have never seen America, here is a little look see at just some of the beautiful sites that makes America The Beautiful!
I want to thank my cousin for e-mailing me this site, he knows how I like pretty and interesting things and after viewing this video and the rest of the site I have added SageBrush Patriot to the blogroll where it is described as “just good old fashioned American patriotism, values, and tradition”, if you care to stop by and see what other words of wisdom is on offer!
That’s it for me today, I hope that you had a great week-end and I’ll see you back again tomorrow for some more…
