You Don’t Look a Day Over Two-Hundred

Happy birthday America! What an honor to be a part of your two-hundred and thirty-fourth birthday celebration. Paul and I will be blowing out your candles at your party on the lake tonight.




In honor of your special day, people are itching to say a few words, friends who delight in their love for you, some who have been with you since your birth.

Where liberty dwells, there is my country. ~Benjamin Franklin


My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy! ~Thomas Jefferson


It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God it shall be my dying sentiment, independence now and independence forever. ~Daniel Webster


Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I’m not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be. ~John Wayne


America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.
~Woodrow Wilson


I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him. ~Abraham Lincoln


My patriotic heart beats red, white, and blue. ~Author Unknown

America, on your special day, my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. I am thankful for your freedoms, your vast open canvas of opportunities, and like each year before, I will wipe away my tears of gratefulness under a canopy of fireworks.



Happy birthday precious friend. You know, you really don’t look a day over two-hundred.
