“I am grateful for the USA.” – Doc Meek

……………………………………………………………………………
INDEPENDENCE DAY IN THE USA, JULY 4, 2013

To All Our Friends and Family Far & Near,

Both of us (Doc & Jeannette Meek) are dual Citizens of Canada and the United States of America.
We are citizens of Canada by birth and citizens of the USA by naturalization.

We celebrated Canada on Canada Day, Monday, July 1, 2013.

Today, Thurs, July 4, 2013, we are celebrating our second home in the USA.

We are proud to be dual citizens, and love both Canada and the USA, and the

citizens of Canada and the USA.

Loving Kindness, Collins (Doc) and Jeannette Meek

Today we are grateful for the United States of America, both its current citizens and those who went before us to make today possible.  – Doc & Jeannette Meek, Thursday, July 4, 2013, Calgary, Alberta, CANADA, and South Jordan, Utah, USA.

P.S. We have had a request for the national anthem of the United States of America, “The Star-Spangled Banner”:

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

O say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

“I am grateful for Canada.” – Doc Meek

To All Our Friends and Family Far & Near,

We are both dual Citizens of Canada and the US.

We celebrate Canada on Canada Day, Monday, July 1, 2013.
We are grateful to be Canadians by birth and to know and love Canada and Canadians.
In a few days, July 4, we will also celebrate our second home in the US.

Loving Kindness, Collins (Doc) and Jeannette Meek

Today we are grateful for Canada, its current citizens and those who went before us to make today possible.  – Doc & Jeannette Meek, Monday, July 1, 2013, Calgary, Alberta, CANADA, and South Jordan, Utah, USA. 

P.S. We have had a request for Canada’s National Anthem. Here it is in English and French (since Canada is a bilingual country):

O CANADA

O Canada! Our home and native land!

O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux,

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

Car ton bras sait porter l’épée,

The True North strong and free!

Il sait porter la croix!

From far and wide, O Canada,

Ton histoire est une épopée

we stand on guard for thee.

Des plus brillants exploits.

God keep our land glorious and free!

Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
