Our ‘American’ flag

Our American flag is more than colors..fabric.

It’s more, than the visual a breeze imparts.

It’s more, than a phrase of allegiance.

It’s more even, than a national symbol.

Our ‘American’ flag is remembrances, rare and common.

Our ‘American’ flag carries knowledge of certain events.

The sound, unmistakable and distinct…after battle, taps.

The epiphany at it’s raising on Iwo Jima…Ground zero…Baseball game.

The length and width of us all, anywhere.

Our ‘American’ flag carries blood…Sons and Daughters, Mothers and Fathers.

Always, the sight of our ‘American’ flag will tear tears from our strongest.

Yes, Yes, our ‘American’ flag is worth dieing for.

Without remembrance, we have no essence…meaning for which to live.

With remembrance and our flag, we shall survive.
