Land of the Free Because of the Brave

World War II Memorial 

Annapolis, Maryland

Larger view of the Memorial

In the words of Lee Greenwood:

And I'm proud to be an American 

where at least I know I'm free. 

And I won't forget the men who died, 

who gave that right to me. 

And I'd gladly stand up next to you 

and defend her still today. 

‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land 

God bless the U.S.A.

Thank you to all of the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice, to those who have served, and to those who are still serving.  

YOU 

are our Nation's Treasure!

In a cool solitude of trees 

Where leaves and birds a music spin, 

Mind that was weary is at ease, 

New rhythms in the soul begin.
