Who Am I?

I live in thousands of homes,

And in many a yard,

I travel the globe,

And I fly free where ever I come to rest,

I am looked upon with dignity,

And with eyes full of tears,

I believe in you,

And what you do for me,

I know you will never let me fall,

And I see your strength,

I understand your pain,

And hope you will perservere as you have in the past,

I am feared by many,

But not you, you understand,

I do not ask for much,

But at times I ask the ultimate price,

Love me, respect me, but most of all honor me by honoring my sons and daughters,

For they have fought for you by serving me.

Who am I?
I am the Stars and Stripes forever!


Dedicated to all who have served.
