She has flown tall and bright through endless fights. She has weathered the cold of space, the furnace of the dessert. She has been burned. She has been spit on. She stands for freedom. She lowers for the faithful. She has not fallen. EVER! She has sheltered many of soldiers. And to this day I salute her. At rise And set. And if I shall fall defending her, She will drape me in her warm embrace. She flies over my roof and will till its no more. She is the American flag, the Stars and Stripes, the Star Spangled Banner. She is my flag, your flag, OUR flag and I salute her.
