...It is unfortunate that those verses are ommited, but I guess they would not be "politicly correct". Most Americans do not appreciate what was accomplished by our forfathers. And they seem to forget on what this country was founded. I am glad to know that you are not one of those people.

: Words my an ancestor wrote the centuries ago. The first verse is well known. The others are usually omitted. Here is the fourth verse:
:
:

: Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
:
:

: Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
:
:

: Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
:
:

: Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
:
:

: Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
:
:

: And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
:
:

: And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
:
:

: O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
:
:

: God bless The United States of America!!
:
: Happy July 4th!
