Presidents Day

You have the highest of human trust
committed to your care.

Providence has showered on this favored land blessings without number, and has chosen you as the guardians of freedom, to preserve it for the benefit of the human race.

May He who holds in His hands the destinies of nations, make you worthy of the favors He has bestowed, and enable you, with pure hearts and hands and sleepless vigilance, to guard and defend to the end of time, the great charge He has committed to your keeping.

~ Andrew Jackson ~

  1. What's happened to those men? *sigh* They were so wise back then. We've strayed so far, I wonder if we'll ever get back to the way it should be.

    We need to find the bloodline of Abraham Lincoln! LOL!
    Have a great day my friend.
