4th of July Table Setting: Welcome to the 149th Tablescape Thursday!

The Star-Spangled Banner
Francis Scott Key




Oh, 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,




Thru 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.




Thank-you to all the men and women, past and present, who make it possible for us to celebrate with freedom this Independence Day.




Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July!
