I Am a Flag of the United States

I, AM FLAG OF UNITED STATES 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 at me 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 – I am feared.

I have fought in every battle of every war

for more than 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 Forrest, Anzio, Rome

and the beaches of Normandy, Guam,

Okinawa, Korea, and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam,

I was there.

I led my troops,

I was dirty, battle worn and tired,

but my soldiers cheered me

And I was proud.

I have been burned, torn and trampled

on the streets of countries
