Thanks, Dolly. Thanks for sharing your Flag Day photo. Ready for another Flag Day poem?



I AM YOUR Flag
By Bill Nelson,
WL, Pack 878, ASM, Troop 14, Unit Commissioner, Tempe District,
Grand Canyon Council, Phoenix, Arizona USA

I am the symbol of the living America, the badge of its greatness, the emblem of its destiny.

I am faith. It is I who keep men mindful of their priceless heritage, life, liberty, and the right to pursue happiness.

I am hope. I represent the land of promise wherein, already, man's loftiest dreams have approached closer to realization than ever before on this earth.

I am life. Each strand and fiber of my being is a memorial, dedicated to the sacrifices of all those strong men and steadfast women who have lived and died in the nation's service, that it might live forever.

I am tolerance. So long as I shall wave, all people under my protection may freely worship, think, write and speak, undaunted by the shadow of fear.

I am justice, tempered with mercy. For I am friend to the oppressed and downtrodden of every land.

I am a sign of the future. I wave over schools throughout the nation and in them the nation's future is molded.

I am the flag of the United States... the last... the best hope for peace on earth.

Thank you, Amy, for the beautiful Flag Day thread.

Good Day, NnB. Happy Flag Day.

Thank you for another wonderful poem. I didn't ask for a new poem for the thread today because it wouldn't have given you much time.

I'm so happy that we have a collection of your poems to find at least one that will fit the occasion.

Thank you again for all of your contributions.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, GB.

Hope you are enjoying a Warm Fuzzy Flag Day. :)

"The small version is still pretty good. The sound and video are better in the larger version. Both are presented in the 320x240 format.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
