When you look up at me with my red, white, and blue waving proudly in the sky, I hope you think about what I stand for beyond placing your hand over heart or standing at attention in salute.
I am so much more than a woven cloth of stars and stripes...
I am your pride of the USA that is worn, adorn and individually flown for all others to see.
I am the courage shown by the valiant troops who raise me up after a victory won.
I am the solemn remembrance of the duty served to America that is draped over a coffin and given folded to a loved one.
I am each state united as one nation under God with liberty and justice for all.
I am Old Glory, America's symbol to the world that will always fly high in the land of the free and the home of the brave! |
