O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

Where did you find this image? I spent most of the day yesterday trying to find one and just gave up.
I found this by Googling “military funeral.” I suspected searching “Memorial Day” would lead me to a bunch of sales and I was looking for something pretty specific.
One of my favorite verses of the song.
YES – mine, too. My other favorite ends with “America, America / God mend thine every flaw / Confirm thy soul in self-control / Thy liberty in law”
So good!
