Curtis Moorman Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Red, White, and Blue

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE

The American Flag
Is not just a rag
Affording protection for you
It isn't waved in frivolous fun
And its colors are guaranteed not to run

Jan Allison June 28, 2019 at 11:50 AM I know how patriotic you guys are out there:-) I feel emotional when I see our little flag being waved at sporting events but some think its like the swastika and there was trouble at one event as athletes were made to cover it up !:-) hugs Jan xx Curtis Moorman June 28, 2019 at 2:52 PM Jan, there is a controversial dispute going on even now because a disrespectful athlete chose to kneel when the flag was displayed and the national anthem was played. Nike endorsed his action and made billions in sales.

Robert L. Hinshaw April 27, 2019 at 5:12 PM Wonderful write, Curtis! Made me want to stand at attention and salute! BoB Curtis Moorman April 30, 2019 at 4:23 AM Great response, Bob! I share your enthusiasm. As Air Force retirees, you and I are both keenly aware of the importance of the flag as a symbol of freedom. A freedom hard fought to gain! My continued prayers go out to you.

Gordon Mcconnell April 27, 2019 at 3:00 PM Nice piece Curtis displaying true national pride in your land. Trust all is well with you my friend, have a blessed weekend,Gordon Curtis Moorman April 30, 2019 at 4:20 AM It is certainly good to hear from you, my friend! My weekend was good. It was spent erecting a gazebo and then taking the time to enjoy it. All is well with me, and I pray with you as well. Curtis Moorman April 30, 2019 at 4:18 AM Gordon, thank you so much for this comment. As a retired Air Force Veteran, and as a proud American, I believe the flag to be an important symbol of the freedom so valiantly fought for. That freedom must never be lost!

Tom Cunningham April 27, 2019 at 4:37 AM When I was in the U.S. I.was impressed how people flew the flags outside their homes. Tom Curtis Moorman April 27, 2019 at 4:47 AM Tom, how very good to hear from you! Yes, it is heartwarming to see Old Glory wafting in the breeze at many homes in drives across country. Of course, we now have an issue because a certain athlete chose to kneel when the National Anthem was played.
