Quotes

• Hail, Columbia! happy land!
  Hail, ye heroes! heaven-born band!
  Who fought and bled in Freedom’s cause,
  Who fought and bled in Freedom’s cause,
  And when the storm of war was gone,
  Enjoyed the peace your valor won.
  Let independence be our boast,
  Ever mindful what it cost;
  Ever grateful for the prize,
  Let its altar reach the skies!
  • Hail, Columbia! (1798).
