My son (age 3) has always been rocked/sung to sleep. He's always had three songs until last year, I added a 4th. Each night when I put him to bed he always asks for "last song". Last song is "my country tis of thee" aka "America". I have to admit, the last few weeks of singing last song has been an emotional one as I think about the words and wonder if they will hold true. No matter what happens tomorrow, that song will either be a song of mourning or celebration. Either way, I will always sing last song for as long as my son asks. May god bless america and may freedom ring!

That's beautiful! Great parenting Fren!
Thank you! I WILL be teaching my son the true history of this amazing country and all patriotic songs/pledge of allegiance. We will not be erased.
I feel like this is the best thing that regular folks can do to make a real positive difference in this world; teach and raise your children to be decent patriotic humans who love and respect each other and especially God.
Amen!
