With the 4th of July coming up, I started thinking about all the things that make America the greatest country on the planet.

First to come to mind were some of the lyrics from "America The Beautiful:" America, God shed His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea!

I started thinking of things in the good old U.S.A. that represent our great country like waves of grain, mountains, monuments, farmers, soldiers, freedom, liberty and the list could go on. Here are some pictures I think represent America and I hope you enjoy them.

I'm sure you'll have some come to mind that are not included but only because there isn't enough room to post them all.

America, The Beautiful Lyrics

by Katharine Lee Bates - 1913

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine!

O Beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
