When I gaze upon Old Glory, I see stars in the corner field and I think of the heavens above blue by day starlit by night. There is an abundance in our cosmos greater than us that guarantees our individual liberties no man can debate. I see the stripes of our history as in blood shed for sacrifices many will never know.
Old Glory symbolizes the best of a few and the hopes of many. It is no wonder WE are One Nation Under God. Many would dismiss any relationship an individual keeps with a creator and do so in a clause of our 1st amendment separating government and religion. This is poor thinking at the very least.
Government shall make no law isn't a separation of government and religion it is an exclusion of government choice to endorsing a specific religion and that came from history of a monarchy that did endorse a religion favoring the actions of a pompous king.
Old Glory signifies liberty to all, even to the point of allowing enemies of freedom an opportunity to persuade the body differently. While many revere the cost of Old Glory others would defecate on her or even burn her in contempt. That is our ugly truth. And that is why the stripes of Old Glory demand acknowledgment along the corner of our heavens.
Liberty of men lives by moral authority of God. Evil contests this moral authority in convenience of self importance by individuals who would never make any sacrifice for the sake of another. While Old Glory rests above our nation under God evil curses the above from below where blodd has always been shed in hopes of Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Happy Flag Day America and God Bless our nation of those who would give their lives for strangers and their freedom.
