[5]Why not celebrate our nation’s freedom different this year by celebrating our own state. What beter way than by reciting our Official State Song of Oregon called “Oregon, My Oregon”
By Evergreen,
Oregon writer
Land of the Empire Builders, Land of the Golden West;
Conquered and held by free men, Fairest and the best.
On-ward and upward ever, Forward and on, and on;
Hail to thee, Land of the Heroes, My Oregon.
Land of the rose and sunshine, Land of the summer’s breeze;
Laden with health and vigor, Fresh from the western seas.
Blest by the blood of martyrs, Land of the setting sun;
Hail to thee, Land of Promise, My Oregon.
