I AM THE FLAG 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 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 worshiped. 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 Appomattox. I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy, and Guam. Okinawa, Korea and Khe San, Saigon, Vietnam know me, I was there. I led my troops, I was dirty, battle-tested and tired, but my soldiers cheered me and I was proud. America has been attacked by cowardly fanatics. Many lives have been lost, but those who would destroy me cannot win. For I am the symbol of freedom - Of one nation Under God Indivisible With liberty and justice for all. 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 & trampled on the streets of my country. And when its by those whom Ive 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 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 lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter, I AM PROUD.
