this is old glory
the american flag
the flag of the united states of america
it is something to honor
to give glory to
to pay respect
to admire our country
our home
our liberties
our history
our freedom
most of all to always remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice
for you
for me
for this nation
their sweat
their blood
their tears
their life
millions
gave up what you have access to now
for you to keep it
for us to nurture it
to strengthen it
and of course protect it
"We have a right to it, derived from our Maker."
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”
are founding fathers knew it wouldnt be easy
but they left us not only the blueprints, but the manual
our lady liberty is a wild one
and thats how we like em
she likes to dance and scream sometimes
just to remind us of what freedom is all about
a delicate balance
“Timid men…prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous sea of liberty.”
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
never forget your pledge
to our Flag
and to the Republic for which it stands
one Nation under God
indivisible
with liberty and justice for all
never forget your oath
support and defend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies
foreign and domestic
bear true faith and allegiance to the same
So help you God
“Liberty may be endangered by the abuses of liberty as well as the abuses of power.”
“Liberty is the power to do everything that does not interfere with the rights of others: thus, the exercise of the natural rights of every individual has no limits save those that assure to other members of society the enjoyment of the same rights.”
"I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
