As we salute Old Glory in her Stars and Stripes so bold
She brings to us nostalgia in the memories we hold
Uniting us in brotherhood of hopes and dreams most bright
The emblem of our freedom of a nation crowned in light
As the song, God Bless America resounds throughout the land
Steadfast we pledge allegiance to our flag who flies most grand.

"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". ...Joseph Rodman Drake
