    2. Hello everyone, We hope your Independence Day celebration was as wonderful as ours and your fireworks displays as spectacular as the ones we observed tonight. For those of you that have AOL as your Internet Service Provider, you can find some great patriotic songs at the following address. For those of you that are not with AOL, below you will find the entire Star Spangled Banner as it was written by Francis Scott Key. <A HREF="aol://4344:128.patriot.31673006.684878144"> AOL Music: Patriotic Songs</A> Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave >From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand, Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust" And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! -- Francis Scott Key ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.

    1. [ROOTWALKER] Levi lafayette BOZARTH - Reply to Teri.
    2. Good morning Teri, Falling Water River is a small river that runs through Putnam, White and DeKalb Counties of Tennessee. It begins near Monterey, Tennessee, then flows in a west-southwestern direction south of Cookeville, Tennessee, then into Center Hill Lake of the opposite side of the lake from Smithville. The Falling Water River flows into Center Hill Lake almost directly northeast of Smithville, and as I said before, across the lake from Smithville. >From a point due south of Cookeville, the Falling Water River runs almost directly on the county line between Putnam and White Counties until just before it pours into the lake. I hope this helps you. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.
