I am your flag<br /> <br /> I was born on June 14, 1777.<br /> <br /> I am more than just cloth shaped into a design.<br /> <br /> I am the refuge of the world’s oppressed people.<br /> <br /> I am the silent Sentinel of freedom.<br /> <br /> I am the emblem of the greatest sovereign nation on earth.<br /> <br /> I am the inspiration for which American patriots give their lives and fortunes.<br /> <br /> I have led your sons into battle from Valley Forge to the bloody ridges of Korea.<br /> <br /> I walk in silence with each of your honored dead, to their final resting place beneath the silent white crosses rows upon row.<br /> <br /> I have flown through peace and war, strife and prosperity, and amidst it all I have been respected.<br /> <br /> My red stripes… symbolize the blood spilled in defense of this glorious nation.<br /> <br /> My white stripes signify the burning tears shed by Americans who lost their sons.<br /> <br /> My blue field is indicative of god’s heaven under which I fly. <br /> <br /> My stars… clustered together, unify 50 states as one, for God and country.<br /> <br /> Old glory is my nickname, and proudly I wave on high.<br /> <br /> Honor me, respect me, defend me with your lives and your fortunes.<br /> <br /> Never let my enemies tear me down from my lofty position, lest I never return.<br /> <br /> Keep alight the fires of patriotism, strive earnestly for the spirit of your republic.<br /> <br /> Worship eternal God and keep his commandments, and I shall remain the bulwark of peace and freedom for all mankind.<br /> <br /> I am your flag.<br /> <br /> This is a public service of Patriotic American Youth PO Box 363, Jackson, MS
