Happy Flag Day! June 14

Happy Flag Day! I remembered an old song about the flag that I learned as a young teenager. My apologies to the composer, because I can't remember who wrote it. But I remember every word and wanted to share it here:

Proudly it waves, Old Glory, over the land of the free. Promise of hope and freedom, symbol of liberty. Red white and blue are its colors, colors both brilliant and clear. Colors with far deeper meaning than that at first may appear. Red is for blood of Patriots who have died to free us. White is for justice and government of law. Blue is for honor and faith in all we do. This is our flag, this is Old Glory, The Red, White and Blue.
