I Am the Flag of the United States
Of
America
I
am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is Old
Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest
buildings.
I stand watch in America's 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 for 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 colors 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 then 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 of Normandy.
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
in the streets of my 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 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.
Please
forward this message and this site to all who still love
and respect me that I may fly proudly
for another two hundred years
