2 National Anthems O Canada O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, We stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. Star Spangled Banner 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 through the perilous fight, O er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave O er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Contributions Airstream, Inc. Camping World, DeForest, Wisconsin Camping World, Rogers, Minnesota
