HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!!

Wish I had a picture of you to post, by the way, why don't I?  hmmm, maybe it is time for you to visit Denver.  So, this picture will have to do, but I think it sums up everything you are and have been to all of us:

But you have not yet worn out!!! So thank you! Thank you for all of your self sacrificing for all of us children and grandchildren.  We Love and appreciate you! Happy 74! 

"While the storm clouds 

gather far across the sea,

Let us swear allegiance 

to a land that's free,

Let us all be grateful

 for a land so fair,

As we raise our voices in

 a solemn prayer."

Irving Berlin(1888-1989) 

The unofficial national anthem of the United States was composed by an immigrant who left his home in Siberia for the USA when he was only five years old. The original version of "God Bless America" was written in 1918
