MEMORIAL DAY & RAY CHARLES

Was at my shop listening to my favorite "Oldies" station on the radio, (cause Im really old!) When the D.J. started playing older patriotic songs. He played America the Beautiful by Ray Charles. The song starts out in the 2d verse, and adds something for every American to ponder:
Quote:
O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.
No body can say it like Uncle Ray:
