I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
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 Appomatox.
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, KheSan and Saigon,
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 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.

MY NAME IS OLD GLORY
LONG MAY I WAVE.
DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN
LONG MAY I WAVE

Author Unknown


I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the republic for which it stands:
one nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.
