Country road
take me home
to the place
I belong
in West Virginia
my mountain mama
take me home
this country road

the fields of wheat
the apple groves
the brooks and streams
near my abode
in West Virginia
my haunted hallows
take me home
this country road

country road
take me home
to the place
where I belong
in West Virginia
hug me mama
take me home
this country road

star-spangled skies
lush forest groves
In the place
where I pray alone
in West Virginia
west wind follows
this country road
please take me home

Over two hundred years ago, brave, selfless men and women gave their lives to form this great nation that must exist forever. Two of those Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, used to meet in town in the afternoon for a cup of coffee, because tea was taxed. Thomas was going blind because the Redcoats adulterated his well with arsenic and in those days there was no remedy. He and his family trained a carriage and a bolt of horses to take him into town weekly so he could be with his friends his final days and late in the afternoon, the townspeople would put this great man in his carriage, nearly blind and his horses would take his home. He eventually passed on along with his friend the inventor Benjamin Franklin and the nation knows no other to this very day. This excerpt is to remind all Americans that our land is ours and not to be given away to anyone, except the original owners, Nothing comes easy, and the most valued commodity in a mans life is that which he or she fought over and was hard won. This is important. Nothing is valued more than what you have worked for. I issue a challenge to all Americans, what ever your race or your cast or your color, that to keep this nation great we must persevere and sacrifice for those in need. I hate to say this, and I will say it again and again until it rubs in: liberty and freedom are not free, we may have to fight for them and give up our lives so our children can enjoy the luxuries and bounties that the maker has awarded and provides.

Let me wish the nation
Happy Holidays
United we stand
Divided we fall.
