Notes About The Poem

The American Flag represents the United States of America. The country which first believed there should be liberty and freedom for all, that all are created equal and all should have equal opportunity. It doesn't always happen that way, but, without the concept, it could never happen 

We Celebrate the Flag

We Celebrate the Flag

We celebrate the flag today
Long may it wave above
It represents the U.S.A
The country that we love

Fly it proudly, fly it high
Don't let it touch the ground
Honor and salute it 
As long as you're around

Those who would degrade it
Bring dishonor to its name
Do not deserve to live here
To respect it's not a game

Many died to keep it
Flying o'er this land we love
It represents the “who” we are
Long may it wave above
