Our Famous Flag Unfurls

Faint drums in distances rolling brave tales before us unfolding. Over proud battle cries it will fly saving grand dreams that shall not die. Bloody sands seen at Normandy attests mankind's will to be free. The daring who marched as one arm in arm till the war was won! From space we see a tiny blue ball seems not so important after all. Stare straight into adversity - hard fought pride and diversity. Bursting towns, shoveled ditches, Dust Bowl plains that yield us riches. Our views changed on world order as more humans cross our border. Those wise fathers of our founding the din of principle keeps pounding. More hopes today than ever before opportunity stands at our door. Purring drums on a sultry eve a new dawn in which to believe. We shall solve the world's perils as our famous flag now unfurls!

Don't know exactly which contest this was a winner in, but it hardly matters. This is just an awesome tribute to America and how it's changed over the past 8 decades. We certainly are a different country than we once were. Is it for the best? -- That's the 64 billion dollar question. Hats off, Greg. :) gw
