She stands proud, On mountain trail, All tattered and torn. Her stars holding fast To the cloth she wears. The Fifty stars she bears Her strips bleeding The pain of summer’s end. She must transcend. She’s graced these snow-crowned...

Old Glory Has Something to Say
Old Glory has Something He Wants to Say By – Roger White The dawn’s first sunlight crests over the eastern horizon. A midnight dark sky leisurely changes tinctures: blue becomes purple, bright azure and soft yellow create a pastel veneer across the skyline. The bellies of plumose clouds reflect the hues and turn...

The Thirteen Folds of Old Glory
Each fold recalls our first thirteen territories— The first for the soldier’s life and those they defend. The second for their hopes of heavenly glories, And the third fold for when their life comes to an end. The fourth fold for man’s weakness and God’s guiding hand, And the fifth is...

Like a mother watching over her children, unfurled high or at half mast, she stands tall protecting our freedom, this old girl was built to last. She has weathered many a storm, standing watch...

A square cloth flying in the breeze, For all to see. Colors begin to form as the sun, Comes up in a new day.

The red and white stripes equal the...

Do not debauch the banner--red, white, and blue, By waving it above traitorous insurrectionists’ yell. Old Glory was “so gallantly streaming” in 1812, It has stood the tests of time tried and true From Iwo Jima, the Japanese sulfur island hell, And the Halls of Montezuma, on history’s shelve. Proudly, she stands for our American democracy Her illustrious story is one patriots...

Let’s take a moment and think about our flag. Let’s think about what it actually stands for and why we shouldn’t let it drag. It’s a symbol of freedom and a symbol of truth. It’s also a symbol of how our brave, have fought and died for our youth. The flag is not a symbol of oppression or a...

Premium Member I Am Known As Old Glory
I am a banner that stands for hope and freedom, I've been around for over 200 years, I am the flag of the United States of America, I am known as Old Glory. I can be seen flying atop tall buildings, I've passed in review to honor our Military, Our Veterans and our Fallen Heroes, I am a recognized symbol of liberty. If...
