The Baldridge family home mentioned in the WW2 Valentines post that precedes this. I looked it up in Google Maps. Could be the same one as 1945?
BTW, a Dave wrote in supplying the full set of lyrics to American Anthem:
American Anthem
Lyrics by Gene Scheer
All we've been given by those who came before
The dream of a nation where freedom would endure
The work and prayers of centuries have brought us to this day.
What shall be our legacy?
What will our children say?
(Chorus)
Let them say of me
I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings I received.
Let me know in my heart when my days are through
America, America I gave my best to you.
Each generation from the plains to distant shore
With gifts that they have given were determined to leave more.
Valiant battles fought together,
Acts of conscience fought alone.
These are the seeds from which America has grown.
(Chorus)
Let them say of me
I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings I received.
Let me know in my heart when my days are through
America, America I gave my best of you.
For those who think they have nothing to share,
Who fear in their hearts there is no hero there,
Know that quiet acts of dignity are that which fortifies
The soul of a nation that never, never dies.
(Chorus)
Let them say of me
I was one the one who believed
In sharing the blessings I received.
Let me know in my heart when my days are through
America, America I gave my best to you.
