And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Festive fireworks festoon the summer sky like confetti
as if to say, "Bravo, America!" during the 2015 Fourth of July
Fireworks set off from J. Birney Crum Stadium,
Allentown, Pennsylvania.

How wonderful it would be to have fireworks - and the fire of patriotism -
in our hearts every day!

As the fireworks ended I heard a little boy say "Bravo!"
I couldn't have said it better myself. 

Red Hots ...

"May the sun in his course visit no land more free,
more happy, more lovely than this our own country!"

Bedazzling Freedom ...

by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming ..."
