[Jackie Lee Mowery]

While I could go along with Woody Guthrie, we could actually use the first
three lines of America, the Beautiful.  Now hear me out guys.  If you look
at:
My country, tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee, I sing.
These are, in our hearts applicable to each of our countries.  Pick a line
and illustrate it?
