Our government may have cut a deal with China, but this frequent shopper passes over "Made In China" labels for "Made in USA."
A disgusting sight is the "Made In China" labels on the American Flag. Call me old fashioned, but I know where my loyalties lie...
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over great institutes of learning.
I stand guard with the greatest military power in the world.
I stand for peace - honor - truth and justice.
I stand for freedom
I am confident - I am arrogant
I am proud.
My head is a little higher
My colors a little truer.
I bow to no one.
I am worshipped - I am saluted - I am respected
I am revered - I am loved, and I am feared.
for more than 200 years:
Gettysburg, Shilo, Appomatox, San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France,
the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome,
the beaches of Normandy,
the cane fields of the Philippines,
the rice paddies andjungles of Guam, Okinawa,
Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Guadalcanal,
New Britain, Peleliu, and many more islands.
And a score of places long forgotten
by all but those who were with me.
I led my soldiers - I followed them.
I watched over them.
They loved me.
I was on a small hill in Iwo Jima.
I was dirty, battle-worn and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me,
and I was proud.
and trampled on the streets of countries
I have helped set free.
It does not hurt, for I am invincible.
and trampled on the streets of my country,
and when it is by those with whom
I have served in battle - it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.
and stand watch over the
uncharted new frontiers of space
from my vantage point on the moon.
of America's finest hours.
But my finest hour comes when I am torn
into strips to be used for bandages
for my wounded comrades on the field of battle,
And when I lie in the trembling arms
of a grieving mother at the graveside
of her fallen son.
My name is Old Glory.
Dear God - Long may I wave.
