Thats right, I'm the Flag of the United States of America!
My name is Old Glory
I stand watch in the halls of hustice in every Town and City a cross America.
Institutions of learning have me flying majestically over them.
I stand my guard with power in the world. Stop to look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am proud.
When I'm flown with my fellow banners,
My head is always a little higher,
My colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I sure do not run!
I'm recognized all over the world.
I'm 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 then 200 years.
A youngger me was flown at Valley Forg.
I was at San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest. Anzio, Rome, and the beaches of Normandy, Guam, Okinawa, Korea, and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam knows me. I was there.
I led my troops, I was dirty, battle worn, 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 to set free.
It does not hurt for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn, and trampled in the streets of my own country. And when it's done by those.
Whom I've served in battle- it hurts.
But I shall overcome-for I am strong. I have slipped the bonds of Mother Earth, and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness to all of America's 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 lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,
I am proud!
I am Old Glory
