I AM THE FLAG OF THE 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 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 - and I am feared.

 I have fought in every battle of every war for more then 200 years.
 I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appomattox.
 I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France,
 in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches
 of Normandy, Guam. Okinawa, Korea and KheSan,
 Saigon, Vietnam know me, I was there.

 I led my troops,
 I was dirty, battleworn and tired,
 but my soldiers cheered me,
 and I was proud.

 I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of
 countries I have helped set free.
 It does not hurt, for I am invincible.

 I have been soiled upon, burned, torn
 and trampled on the streets of my country.
 And when it's by those whom I've served in battle -- it hurts.
 But I shall overcome -- for I am strong.

 I have slipped the bonds of Earth
 and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of
 space from my vantage point on the moon.

 I have borne silent witness
to all of America's finest hours.
 But my finest hours are yet to come.

 When I am torn into strips and used as bandages
 for my wounded comrades on the battlefield;
 when I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier;
 or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent
 at the grave of their fallen son or daughter, I am proud.

 MY NAME IS OLD GLORY
 LONG MAY I WAVE.
 DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN
 LONG MAY I WAVE.

military personnel, rescue teams and their
