Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the heav’ns rescued land praise the Pow’r that hath made and preserved us a nation!

Memorial Day Video by Will Boisture
“Having grown up in Arlington, Virginia, just minutes from the National Cemetery, I decided to go back home and film this truly special place.”

When I was in school, we used to sing two verses of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” I love the next lines of the verse you quoted:
“Then conquer we must, for our cause, it is just.
And this be our motto: ‘in God is our trust.’ …”
Hope you’re having a blessed Memorial Day.

I remember singing all the patriotic hymns at school as a girl. We knew the words by heart. Blessings to you today, Ann.
