I believe our flag is more than just cloth and
ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and
freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it's marked by the blood of those
who died defending it.
And they who for their country die shall fill an
honored grave, for glory lights the soldier's tomb, and beauty weeps the brave.
I have long believed that sacrifice is the
pinnacle of patriotism.
