Born to serve freedom
America lives
Liberty’s fabric
Lasting spirit gives
Nation remembers
Forefather’s boldness
Valley Forge unites
Despite war’s coldness
New country now born
Republic takes shape
Independence sings
Brave sovereign’s landscape
Young democracy
Learns from stumbling steps
Imperfect Union
Overcomes missteps
Legacy passed down
Each generation
Diverse history
Building one nation
From the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union . . . .”
