Old Glory waves her colors across a grieving land,

RED stands for the VICTIMS taken by an angry hand.

WHITE is for the FREEDOM of AMERICA, and you,

MILITARY guards us that’s why, the color BLUE.

When they are put together, stars and stripes become,

A source of independence, and pride for everyone.

Old Glory waves to lift the hearts of those, who through their tears,

Have fought to uphold justice, through battles of our years.

And though She’s torn, Her spirit’s there, and with Her we will mend

Our anguish as WE forward move.  Our brothers we will tend.

Make no mistake!  Resolve is firm!  Old Glory’s colors true,

Do proudly fly uniting all, in RED, the WHITE, the BLUE!
