Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Be proud America

Old Glory

by Willie P. Smith

Wave Old Glory high,
Let her reach unto the sky.
Stand up and be proud.

Pray for those before
Who we have lost for ever more,
They fought shore to shore.

They gave willingly
To keep all our people free
Sea to shining sea.

It was meant to be.
This is my country's birthday
Celebrate with me.

This flag is a symbol of our freedom. We have fought, and many have died for that concept. To desecrate her should be a criminal offense, not free speech.
