The Waltons

Patriotic Marathon

on Hallmark Drama

Unfortunately, the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will not be airing any of their great patriotic movies on the 4th of July, which I think is such a shame on this important, momentous holiday. The network has so many wonderful inspirational military movies that could've been shown, such as USS Christmas, A Veteran's Christmas, Holiday for Heroes, Love and Sunshine, Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Truth Be Told and The Impossible Dream, and many others. 

I cannot imagine why Hallmark's programming department did not choose to show any of these patriotic movies on this special holiday - when we honor America. It's almost like not showing any Christmas movies on Christmas day, which would be, in my opinion, very strange. 

I am glad, however, to see Hallmark Drama will still honor our country with this full-day marathon of The Waltons military-themed episodes.

★★★★★

I hope you all have a wonderful Fourth of July...

As we enjoy all of the parades, fireworks, good foods, and festivities, let us pause and give thanks to God above for all that we enjoy on this important holiday. As our political leaders seek to divide God from any place in government, let us remember how the men who signed the Declaration of Independence leaned on our Creator for their spiritual guidance in those uncertain times. I pray The Lord continues to have mercy on our land and that the people of our nation turn their hearts back to God again.

May the light of God's love 

and freedom shine upon you!

🎇 HAPPY 4th of JULY! 🎇

God Bless You All, Net

"God Bless America"

by Irving Berlin

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea

Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free

Let us all be grateful for a land so fair

As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer

God bless America, land that I love

Stand behind her and guide her

Through the night with a light from above

From the mountains, to the prairies

To the oceans white with foam

God bless America

My home sweet home

🎆 Happy Fourth of July! 🎆 God Bless America... Land that I Love!!

Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free

Let us all be grateful for a land so fair

As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer

God bless America, land that I love

Stand behind her and guide her

Through the night with a light from above

From the mountains, to the prairies

To the oceans white with foam

God bless America

My home sweet home
