There is a lovely song written by Christian artist Michael W. Smith on his CD Worship Again about our American Flag:

"There She Stands"

by Michael W. Smith
from his 2002 album, Worship Again

When the night
Seems to say
All hope is lost
Gone away
But I know
I'm not alone
By the light
She stands

There she waves
Faithful friend
Shimmering stars
Westward wind

Show the way
Carry me
To the place
She stands

Just when you think it might be over
Just when you think the fight is gone
Someone will risk his life to raise her
There she stands

There she flies
Clear blue sky
Reminds us with red
Of those that died
Washed in white
By the brave
In their strenth
She stands

When evil calls itself a martyr
When all your hopes come crashing down
Someone will pull her from the rubble
There she stands

We've seen her flying torn and tattered
We've seen her stand the test of time
And through it all the fools have fallen
There she stands

By the dawns
Early light
And through the fight
She stands

Beautiful post Lady!

Sean Hannity has a saying that he quotes often on his radio show "Let not your heart be troubled".
Wonder if he realizes that he's quoting scripture:

Jhn 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Good night...see ya tomorrow.
