It was really hard to find a GIF that was serious and all that, but I feel like this one fits the topic well. What I mean by “Love is sacrifice” is that all the people who fought for our freedom sacrificed their lives because they loved our country. We must never forget this and always respect them.


American Salute by Morton Gould
My band class played this, I just love it so much! If you’re familiar with band instruments, I really like the english horn solo at 0:50, it’s really beautiful and expressive and overall really hard to describe! In general, I love how this song describes the different aspects of America. (Morton Gould was John Williams’s mentor, so that means he’s super amazing and a great composer)


When I do any form on CS to try out for something, I love to add a backstory. So here goes:
Ever since Libby was born, she had been teased by her older siblings. She didn’t even know why! But suddenly, all she wanted was to run, far, far away. She glanced down, and her eyes widened with astonishment. Her coat had grown a flag on it, overnight! She beamed with pride. She was grown up just like her other siblings! Regardless of her anger, she ran over to her siblings, who were still sleeping, and nudged one with her hoof.
“Hey, Emory, look what happened to me!” Libby exclaimed, her colorful eyes shining.
“Wha...” Emory stirred, “Oh, cool,” he grunted. Libby was disappointed once again. She galloped far, far away, to a distant land far away from Emory and the rest of her siblings. Soon, she developed a successful world to live in. But one day, Emory visited her.
“You are rightfully mine, along with all the sweet grass you have found and all the land you have roamed.” Libby would not stand for it.
“I am not yours, never have been, and never will be. You have done nothing except ignored me for all my 8 years of life, and now, to see you want my company shows nothing good of your character. All it shows is that you’re a greedy being!” Libby was practically yelling at this point. Emory just turned sadly and galloped away. Libby lived the rest of her life in peace and freedom, and eventually rebuilt her relationship with Emory. The two of them would then go on to forge the strongest alliance among horses, and the best lesson learned in independence.

Emory represented England

Barn Name: Patriot

Gender: Stallion

Age: 10 years old

Personality: Patriot is an incredibly loyal and extremely proud Tolter. He can be headstrong and will always fight for what he believes is right. He can also come off as arrogant due to his proud nature. Most of all, Patriot is a faithful friend and loves to surround himself with allies. He hates being alone and will accept the company of most anyone who will chit chat with him. Respect is a big virtue that Patriot believes strongly in; he is very aware of his herd status and deeply respects his superiors.

Gif that reminds you of America + explanation:
This gif reminds me of America because most people living here will bash their country time and time again, but the second you say anything about the Olympics or international sports, everyone turns into Will Ferrell in this gif and goes crazy Proud American on everyone and how great the American team is at everything (because we are great at everything) XD

Favorite Patriotic song: The Army Goes Rolling Along; the link is to one of my favorite versions of the official United States Army's official song, performed by the U.S. Army's Band and Choir. I absolutely love this song because I am an Army brat; my dad is retiring from the United States Military after serving 20 years in the U.S. Army. He's a West Point graduate, so I am in love with the school and the history behind it as we have visited it many times. USMA's (United States Military Academy) official song will always have a special place in my heart as I love my country and our military, especially the Army (Hoorah!).

I also really love Toby Keith's American Soldier as it really embodies the mentality of the troops fighting for this beautiful country. Most all of our soldiers have personal lives outside of the military, yet can still put their all out on the frontline when duty calls. Many soldiers miss huge events in their personal lives, like the birth or birthdays of their children, deaths in the family, and so much more. My dad has been deployed several times and he has missed a lot so that it's hard for him sometimes to come back and so much has happened without him. But no matter what, the American soldier can step up to the plate when his or her country calls on them.

Gif that reminds you of America + explanation: 4th of July is a rowdy celebration with fireworks the American flag and many obese people(I am fat too , no hate ) but America is so about the bald eagle that they're on our currency as well as being our most well known animal . As well as being beautiful and graceful any other day of the year here is a cute one taking a bath ^_^
Favorite Patriotic song: Darryl Worley - I just came back from a war the 4th of July is our holiday of celebration for what men and women fought for . America might be the land that we love but not everyone loves us and there are still so many people that are fighting for us . I am thankful for that , I can never be brave enough to protect my country but I respect those who can , do (or did )

Personality:
Flashy, spunky, generous, yet shy, this gal is proud of her lovely coat and her smooth, flashy gait. Sometimes she gets really shy, but when alone, she loves to dance and sprint around wherever she pleases. She enjoys listening to music that the birds outside make (and the radio in the barn!), and she also really likes the color and brightness of fireworks! She likes horse shows, where she can show off AND make her rider proud. She is always putting others first and making sure they are taken care of before she cares for herself -- she makes a great surrogate mother and one day wants to be a mommy! She easily identifies with both stallions, geldings, and foals, as she is kind and energetic!

I'm Gonna Gush About Her For A Sec:
Can I say OH MY GOD I about cried when I first saw her from the main page and I was so hoping I wasn't too late to adopt her... I wasn't! I adore the coloring and how her spots look like fireworks, and her heart on the inside of her thigh, and the flag design and the words on her. Plus her hooves are colored like France's flag, which is pretty rad, too! Idk man I'm just so in awe of this precious baby I'm so hyped.

Favorite Patriotic song:
A tough choice, but I played Where Never Lark or Eagle Flew (amongst MANY others) with my school concert band my senior year of HS for our Veteran's Day concert (which lasted like two hours... so much music). As a oboe and horn player, and getting to perform this on oboe, this song makes me a happy lil player but also they trynna blow out my chops like sheesh. ((The part that starts at 6:17 tho.))

Where Never Lark or Eagle Flew is an overture inspired by “High Flight”, a poem written by a young American volunteer pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force during WWII. John Gillespie Magee, Jr., who flew high-performance Spitfire fighters, perished in a mid-air collision at the age of 19. His famous sonnet is now the official poem of the RCAF and RAF and must be recited from memory by freshman cadets at the USAF Academy.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark, or even eagle flew;
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

What I did for July 4th:
Marched in a parade for my mom's political group! We are a political minority in my area, so besides all the nasty glares, being ignored, and some people yelling at us, it was a really fun time! I gave kids (and seniors) lots of lil bubble bottles, candy, and smiles!

Why I Like July 4th:
No pressure holiday. No presents to buy or family to visit. Lots of food, music, friends, and pretty sparklers and fireworks abound. Parades, cute costumes, what more could you ask?

For your viewing pleasure!

Sending love and patriotism from Georgia!
