[Maillist] FW: The Flag of the United States of America

[Milton Felger]

Enjoy your freedom....but it is NOT free.... many of your fellow citizens in
uniform paid all too well to preserve it.

In the next several months you can do your patrotic duty by helping to elect
canadates who are mentally and morally able to uphold
 the spirit of our country....'one nation under GOD'.

                                I Am the Flag of the





                                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 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'm presently in the mountains of Afganistan
and the hot and dusty deserts of Iraq and wherever freedom is needed.
                                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.

                                For all those who still love and respect me
that I may fly proudly for another two hundred years.
