THEY DIED FOR THEIR COUNTRY
-from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.- ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

GOD BLESS AMERICA
God bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above:
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the ocean white with foam,
God bless America
My home sweet home.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
My home sweet home.
THERE'S A LONG, LONG TRAIL
There's a long, long trail a-winding
Into the land of my dreams,
Where the nightingale is singing
And the white moon beams,
There's a long, long night of waiting
Until my dreams all come true;
Till the day when I'll be going
Down that long, long trail with you.
PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag,
And smile, smile, smile
While you've a lucifer to light your fag,
Smile boys, that's the style.
What's the use of worrying,
It never was worth while,
So, pack up your troubles in your old kit bag,
And smile, smile, smile.
KEEP THE HOME-FIRES BURNING
Keep the home-fires burning
While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home;
There's a silver lining
Through the dark cloud shining
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home.Acquisition
