Let Freedom Ring - New Video

Journal Entry: Thu Jul 3, 2008, 6:38 PM


Happy Birthday America!

:wave:Hi Everyone,

I just spent a couple of hours searching around dA to find some good examples of the symbols of this holiday and the country that I love, warts and all. I have begun a new collection called "Independence" to feature the ones that I liked best. The collection is here: [link]

Here are a few of them in this special holiday feature:



Liberty



Stars & Stripes




Bombs Bursting



Red, White & Blue





God Bless America

View the entire collection: [link]


:new: New addition. I know many of you have already seen this video that *LadyAliceofOz sent around, but for those who didn't check it out. [link]

Have a great day!

Smiles, CJ

Many thanks to those friends at dA who have enjoyed my images enough to feature them in their own journals and news articles. I appreciate this exposure so very much.

A poem by *Blueskye27


From Seattle to Superstition,
she takes our breath
away
with sunsets and seascapes,
shimmering deserts.
She smiles through pain,
encouraging us with
her words,
her courage,
her singular spirit,
to feel
to fight on
to fly.

"LMS Dragon" by ~FawxCat

This dragon predates my becoming a member of dA. It was made by my daughter, Dawn, when I first learned about my LMS in April of 2006. It was subsequently turned into a logo for my LMS webpage [link] and my support/friend stamp.


"Slay The Dragon"
Please use this stamp in your own journal or shoutboard and/or add it to your favorites to help keep awareness alive for this very rare cancer.

Now there is a stamp that can be used in messages and non-subscriber journals too. Highlight and copy these two (attached) icons and paste them anywhere in dA.

:iconcj-3plz::iconcj-4plz:

"CJ's Thank You Stamp"


...and by popular demand, I have changed these Thank You plz icons so that anybody can use them for their own thank you's.

:iconcj-1plz::iconcj-2plz:

... more plz icons that you are welcome to use in your messages and deviation comments.
