Let us never forget.  

See below to help or to express your feelings!

 For amber waves of grain,
 For purple mountain majesties
 Above the fruited plain!
 America! America!
 God shed his grace on thee
 And crown thy good with brotherhood
 From sea to shining sea!

 O beautiful for pilgrim feet
 Whose stern impassioned stress
 A thoroughfare for freedom beat
 Across the wilderness!
 America! America!
 God mend thine every flaw,
 Confirm thy soul in self-control,
 Thy liberty in law!

 O beautiful for heroes proved
 In liberating strife.
 Who more than self the country loved
 And mercy more than life!
 America! America!
 May God thy gold refine
 Till all success be nobleness
 And every gain divine!

 O beautiful for patriot dream
 That sees beyond the years
 Thine alabaster cities gleam
 Undimmed by human tears!
 America! America!
 God shed his grace on thee
 And crown thy good with brotherhood
 From sea to shining sea!

 O beautiful for halcyon skies,  For amber waves of grain,  For purple mountain majesties  Above the enameled plain!  America! America!  God shed his grace on thee  Till souls wax fair as earth and air  And music-hearted sea!  O beautiful for pilgrims feet,  Whose stem impassioned stress  A thoroughfare for freedom beat  Across the wilderness!  America! America!  God shed his grace on thee  Till paths be wrought through  wilds of thought  By pilgrim foot and knee!  O beautiful for glory-tale  Of liberating strife  When once and twice,  for man's avail  Men lavished precious life!  America! America!  God shed his grace on thee  Till selfish gain no longer stain  The banner of the free!  O beautiful for patriot dream  That sees beyond the years  Thine alabaster cities gleam  Undimmed by human tears!  America! America!  God shed his grace on thee  Till nobler men keep once again  Thy whiter jubilee!
