            This is not only awesome,   it is gorgeous.



                  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 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.

                  and respect me that I may fly proudly

                  for another two hundred years.
