I am the symbol of living America,
the badge of it's greatness,
the emblem of it's 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 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 a 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, best hope
for peace on earth.
Always remember that along with the picnics and fun and the time off from work,
The reason we enjoy all our freedoms.
Take a few minutes to think of the men and women who died so that we may live.
Teach our young people about the individuals
That gave the greatest sacrifice anyone can give,
their very lives,
for those of us they would never meet
and to ensure the safety of future generations.
Happy Memorial Day!
