I was bom on June 14,1777.
I am more than just a cloth shaped into a design.
I am the refuge of the worlďs oppressed.
I am the silent sentinel of freedom.
I am the inspiration of which American patriots gave their lives
and fortunes.
I háve led your sons into battle from Valley Forge to the bloody
jungles in Vietnam.
I walk in silence with each of your honored dead to their
resting plače
Beneath the silent white crosses, row upon row.
I háve flown through peace and war, strife and prosperity; and
amidst it all, I háve been respected.
My red stripes symbolize the blood spilled in defense of this
glorious nation.
My white stripes signify the buming tears shed by Americans who
lost their sons.
My blue field is indicative of Goďs heaven under which I fly.
My stars are clustered together, uniíying 50 States as one, for God
and country.
“Old Glory” is my nickname, and proudly I wave on high.
Honor me, respect me, defend me with your lives and your
fortunes.
Never let my enemies tear me down from my lofty position, lest
I never retům.
Keep alight the fires of patriotism, strive eamestly for the spirit
of democracy.
Worship etemal God and keep His commandments,
And I shall remain the bulwark of peace and freedom for
all mankind.
