Title: The Fourth Verse Of The Star Spangled Banner. Now Would Be A Good Time.
Post by: twyacht on June 25, 2011, 11:40:24 AM

Inside my Grandfather's 1943 Bluejacket's Manual is the complete National Anthem. All 4 verses.

I think, IMHO, we should let the Fourth Verse be promoted to reflect the times we find ourselves in. Enemies abroad, and also within, forming the insidious plots to dismantle this country at almost every level you can imagine.

Here's a Marine who reminds all of us about the Fourth Verse.

Fourth Verse

Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust"
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Perhaps this would be an appropriate FAREWELL song to BHO, after the election in 2012.
