Old Glory

Dear Glory In America, today has been declared ' Flag Day'. I join in this declaration to honor and salute you. Some in my generation have at times burned you. I am deeply grieved by such displays of disrespect. Old Glory, please be informed that on this day, June 14, 2025, there are several flags placed on my property. Certainly, in America as in every country, there are people of many stripes. Indeed, there are the good, the bad, and the ugly. In my mind, you represent a nation of 'good people'. I will not allow the negatives to blind me of the myride of positivities in America. Old Glory, when I pause and gaze upon you, I do not see red states and blue states. Although my eyes are often clouded by storms of divisiveness, I still see within the eye of our storms "One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty And Justice For All". So Glory, again I honor and salute you for all the good that you represent. Blessings continually. Sincerely, Sitruc.
