O Beautiful

-for heroes proved in liberating strife 

Who more than self their country loved

And mercy more than life...

America!  America!

God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea!

Thank you, service men and women and families.

May God bless you.

(Well. Without my help.)

 Me:  Don't bury them too deep- they'll get lost!

Him:  I'm NOT. 

 He did.

But then he recruited help:

 And found them!
