Dear Lord, Give me the greatness of heart to see The difference between his duty and his love for me. Give me understanding so that I may know That when duty calls him, he must go. Give me a task to do each day To fill the time when he is away. And Lord, when he is in a foreign land, Keep him safe and in your loving hand.

What manner of life do we tread Onward to lands less traveled Men never met tell me where to go Policies I never wrote do I defend My hands are bloodied from the cold My face burnt from the wind Skin chapped and swollen Chafed from the unfriendly terrain Memories of home haunt my dreams Last rites to happiness carry me farther My life a chaotic restless fight I, a soldier, never alone I fight the causes of my leaders Tomorrow a new day rising in the East Yesterday now a burning past But for today my duty I carry For I, a soldier, silent and strong Never ask of tomorrow And yesterday I try to forget by Danielle L.

Off with your hat as the flag goes by! And let the heart have it say; You're man enough for a tear in your eye That you will never wipe away. You're man enough for a thrill that goes To your very finger-tips-- Ay! the lump just then in your throat that rose Spoke more than your parted lips. Lift up the boy on your shoulder high, And show him the faded shred; Those stripes would be red as the sunset sky If death could have dyed them red. Off with your hat as the flag goes by! Uncover the youngster's head; Teach him to hold it holy and high For the sake of its sacred dead. By: H. C. Bunner

Our Nation's Flag is a stirring sight As it flutters proudly in the breeze Its colors of blue, red and white Mean so much to you and me Red stands for courage and hardiness The white means innocence and purity Blue for justice, perseverance and vigilance In its promise to keep us free. This banner stands for a bountiful land, Its government, people, and ideals, The stripes from the thirteen colonies stand, Its symbolism is very real. Each State now is represented By a star of white on blue President Washington first presented The American Flag to You. Many brave men have fought and died To protect it from dishonor and disgrace. Wives have mourned and mothers have cried So we could remain...the United States. The sight of this Banner brings feeling of joy, Of courage, pride and freedom to all. A symbol of our nation in all it's glory, On the moon Old Glory stands tall By: Linda Sheehan Cunningham

When freedom, from her mountain height Unfurled her standard to the air, She tore the azure robe of night And set the stars of glory there. She mingled with its gorgeous dyes The milky baldric of the skies, Then from his mansion in the sun She called her eagle-bearer down And gave into his mighty hand The symbol of her chosen land.
