Old Glory by gardenfolk

Old Glory

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.

June 14th is Flag Day in the USA.
Photo taken at a fire station in the Sierras.

"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
Love the strong red, white and blues in this image
