* What does Independence Day mean to you *
Hello, Remember me? Some people call me Old Glory, others call me the
Star-Spangled Banner, but whatever they call me, I a your flag, the flag
of the United States of America. Something has been bothing me, so I
thought I might talk it over with you- because it is about you and me.
I remember some time ago, people would line up on both sides of the
street to watch the prade, and natually I was leading every one, proudly
waving in the breeze.When your daddy saw me coming,he immediately removed
his hat and placed it againist his left shoulder so that his hand was
directly over his heart-remember? And you, I remember , were standing
there, straight as a soldier. You didn't have a hat, but you were giving
the right salute. What happened ? I'm still the same old flag. Oh I've
added a few more stars since you were a boy , and lot more blood has been
shed since those parades of long ago. But now, I don't feel as proud as I
used to feel. When I come down your street, you stand there with you hands
in your pockets. you may give me a small glance, And the small children
don't seem to know who I am. I saw a man take his hat off, then looked
around didn't see anyone else so he quickly put it back on. Is it a sin to
be patriotic today??? Have you forgotten what I stand for??? and where I
have been Guadalcanal, Korea and Vietnam!!!
Take a look at the memorial honors and see the names of those Americans
who gave their lives to keep us free. When you salute me you are saluting
them.. Well it won't be lone till I'll come down your
street again so when you see me place your hand over your heart and I
will salute you by waving back!
