I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA   Message List

                      I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA                         

My name is OLD GLORY. I fly atop the worlds tallest buildings.  I stand watch in Americas Halls of Justice.  I fly majestically over institutions of learning.  I stand guard with power in the world.  Look up and see me.

I stand of peace honor, truth and justice.  I stand for freedom.  I am confident, I am arrogant.  I am proud. 

When I am flown with my fellow banners, my head is a little higher, my color a little truer.

I bow to no one!  I am recognized all over the world.  I am worshipped - I am saluted - I am loved - I am revered,  I am respected, and I am feared.

I have fought in every battle of every war for more than 200 years.  I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appamatox.  I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches ofNormandy Guam.  Okinawa, Korea and Khesan Saigon, Vietnam know me, I was there.  I led my troops, I was dirty, battleworn and tired, but my soldiers cheered me.  And I was proud .  I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries I have  helped set free.  It does not hurt, for I am invincible.

I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled on in the streets of my country ,  And when it's by those whom I've served in battle - it hurts. But I shall overcome - for I am strong.

I have slipped the bonds of Earth and stood warch over the uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.  I have borne silent witness to all of Americas finest hours.  But my finest hours are yet to come.

When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades on the battlefield, when I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier, or when I be in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter.  I Am Proud.

MY NAME IS OLD GLORY. LONG MAY I WAVE
