Why I Love My Country


I love her magnificent majesty
Her colors: RED, WHITE and BLUE
from her mighty mountain peaks
to her delta lows
and the way her mighty rivers flow
Her frozen land of glaciers
to her deserts barren and cold
I love my mighty country
on whose rocky roads I've run

I love her Pride and Pomp
I love her patience not to tromp
I love her freedom, she lets me be me
with responsibility
and the SISU (guts) to pay the dues
to take care of me at all times,
but should I need a hand,
she is grand and lends a hand up
-not a hand out


She said, I could have an education
that I would have to work for it
no one would hand me my grades
It's a prudent decision she has made...


I love her, because I can run
through the roses at three A.M.
and dream of faraway lands
Be happy in my skin
Oh, yes, I love my homeland
She is Grand.

Thank you. I am a diehard baseball fan, and patriot. This is one of my top 5 “timeless” baseball pictures. This along with Nolan Ryan having Robin Ventura in a headlock, Randy Johnson plucking the bird, Cal Ripken waiving when he broke the games played streak and Salmon/Eckstein embracing after winning the pennant.

I am not familiar with that picture. :(

What is the story behind that baseball player with the flag?

The two jerks crouching were trying to burn it in the outfield during a game to protest the Viet Nam war.

Rick Monday was playing right field when two anti-war (vietnam) protesters jumped onto the field to light the flag on fire. Rick ran between them and “stole” their flag. He still has it to this day.
