~~ HomeTown Pride~~ As we walk down our streets, We hold our heads so high, As we see others to greet. Our heart beats, we give a big sigh. A sigh of pride as we see, Old Glory waving high, for the, Love of a country thats free! Home Town pride is ours to feel. Our Star Spangle Banner flys high, while in our hearts we strive to love one another,we thrive On Hometown America Pride!

Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there Where I wish that I could also live some day. I'd see Lincoln, Custer, Washington and Perry, And Nathan Hale and Colin Kelly, too. There's a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere, Waving o'er the land of heroes brave and true. In this war with its mad schemes of destruction Of our country fair and our sweet liberty, By the mad dictators, leaders of corruption, Can't the U. S. use a mountain boy like me? God gave me the right to be a free American, And for that precious right I'd gladly die. There's a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere, That is where I want to live when I die. Though I realize I'm crippled, that is true, sir, Please don't judge my courage by my twisted leg. Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do, sir, Let me help to bring the Axis down a peg. If I do some great deed I will be a hero, And a hero brave is what I want to be. There's a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere, In that heaven there should be a place for me. written by Bob Miller, 1942
