USA Patriotism!

"I Look Up" ... is ... for Christian Americans and elsewhere ... as were the Founding Fathers of our beloved USA ... and those before them who came to the American new world ... to practice their Christian faith freely. It is also a reminder that all citizens of the United States of America are free to practice their respective faith ... as the Constitution allows ... with all united in one great nation ... under God!

The "If America Had Never Been" video illustrates the associated poem and its underlying message...

That September Day video illustrates my poem with the same title ... underscoring the sincere range of emotions including the deep sadness, anger, and shock that remains with many Americans ... and none more so than those who lost loved ones ... along with the gratitude and pride for the troops, first responders and others involved in the battle against terrorism ... with lasting honorable remembrance of the brave ones who made the ultimate sacrifice in the ongoing conflict against terrorism. I waited to write my poem, "That September Day", until my youngest son finished his decorated military service with the U.S. Marine Corps, which included deployment in Iraq during 2003 ... as I knew that the potential of him being wounded or becoming a fallen ... would impact the wording of this poem. It underscores the sincere range of emotions including the deep sadness, anger, and shock that has remained with many for all the loved ones lost ... along with the gratitude and pride for the troops, first responders and others involved in the battle against terrorism ... with lasting honorable remembrance of those lost in the attacks on September 11, 2001 and the brave ones who made the ultimate sacrifice in the ongoing conflict against terrorism. And while about a year after writing it, he did finally tell my wife and me about coming extremely close to becoming a fallen when a microscopic near fatal AK47 bullet passed by an ear that missed only due to him turning his head to sounds from the multiple AK47 being shot by vehicles driving by his position near the highway to a local airport. (See Brave Young - https://youtu.be/b3Jg6imdclM) I then decided to create the The September Day video on the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks with the hope that the departure of U.S. troops from active ground combat duty in Afghanistan and elsewhere will not have to occur again ... as it might be due to ... responding to another devastating attack on our beloved USA homeland ... and/or ... an American occupied asset in an allied country.

"I Am The One" is a heartfelt tribute honoring the men and women who have proudly served with valor in the U.S. military from the Revolutionary War through today with many paying the ultimate sacrifice and sustaining wounds of varying severity. Hopefully, it will remind all who experience "I Am The One" that ... those serving and who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces ... do so like brothers and sisters ... having each others' back ... no matter the threat ... through out our beloved nation's history. Nor would there be a USA today, if this brotherhood/sisterhood bond wasn't so during World War II.

A visit to the Yorktown Battlefield at Colonial National Historical Park in Virginia ... where the decisive victory by a combined force of 17,000 American Continental Army troops led by General George Washington and French Army troops led by the Comte de Rochambeau over 9,000 British Army troops commanded by British Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis took place in the fall of 1781. It was the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War, as the surrender by Cornwallis, and the capture of both him and his British troops on October 19, 1781, prompted the British government to negotiate an end to the conflict, resulting in the Treaty of Paris of 1783. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2018 Video Production USA Patriotism! https://www.usapatriotism.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Books by David Bancroft, USA Patriotism!

Inspiring, memorable visuals illustrating a U.S. Army chorus performance of the United States of America's national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner ... written as a poem by Francis Scott Key on September 13, 1814 ... after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British Royal Navy ships in Baltimore Harbor during the War of 1812. Francis Scott Key's inspiration for this iconic poem was ... seeing the large American flag, the Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above Fort Henry during the American victory. The Star-Spangled Banner became the official national anthem nearly 217 years later ... by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931 and then signed by President Herbert Hoover. And while The Star-Spangled Banner has four stanzas ... only the first is commonly sung including in the video. Lyrics O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there, O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream, ’Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave! And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion A home and a Country should leave us no more? Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation! Blest with vict’ry and peace may the heav’n rescued land Praise the power that hath made and preserv’d 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.

"One Nation Under God" is a reminder to all Americans about how blessed our beloved USA has been from the first steps upon her Atlantic shore by the Pilgrims … overcoming Her bloody tragic Civil War … becoming the most powerful country in the world … with beauty from coast to coast … abundant natural resources ... and remaining the beacon of freedom that continues to attract immigrants wanting to pledge allegiance to Old Glory and strive to achieve their American dream. Then there is the right to worship God (or not) as you wish … regardless of one's religion or denomination within … as it is ... a constitutional right! So, the reference to “One Nation Under God” is actually America's birth right … This historical fact doesn't change … regardless of political correctness sake or other bias reasons … While anyone has the right to state differently, our great nation was founded with God in mind … and like all earth's inhabitants … it is truly under God above!
