* I'M PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF THE STILES FAMILY
Refrain:
We have come to this reunion,
To restore old family ties,
To tell old family stories,
To remember special lives.
And we need these times together,
So generations won't forget,
The paths our fathers took to get here,
And passed down with no regrets.
Chorus:
'Cause I'm proud to be in a family,
That respects their family tree.
And I won't forget the work you've done,
To preserve this legacy.
And I'd gladly stand up in front of you,
And salute you here today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I'm proud to be,
In the Stiles family.
Refrain:
From the finger lakes of New York,
To the suburbs of K.C.,
Across the plains of Texas,
From Philly to D.C.
From Detroit down to Houston,
And Vermont to GA,
Family pride's in every one of our hearts,
And it's time we stand and say:

Chorus:
'Cause I'm proud to be in a family,
That respects their family tree.
And I won't forget the work you've done,
To preserve this legacy.
And I'd gladly stand up in front of you,
And salute you here today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I'm proud to be,
In the Stiles family.
*Performed by Roger Barry at the 2001 reunion in Kansas City, based upon "God Bless the USA," a song originally recorded by Lee Greenwood.
