Happy American National Flag Day!

President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14 of each year a National Flag Day. Today is the American National Flag Day :).

American flag is also known as an Old Glory

This was originally written by Master Sergeant Percy Webb, USMC., I think its beautifully written.

I Am Old Glory

I Am Old Glory:   For more than ten score years I have been the banner of hope and freedom for generation after generation of Americans.
Born amid the first flames of America's fight for freedom, I am the symbol of a country that has grown from a little group of thirteen colonies to a united nation of fifty sovereign states.
Planted firmly on the high pinnacle of American Faith my gently fluttering folds have proved an inspiration to untold millions.
Men have followed me into battle with unwavering courage.
They have looked upon me as a symbol of national unity.
They have prayed that they and their fellow citizens might continue to enjoy the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, which have been granted to every American as the heritage of free men.
So long as men love liberty more than life itself; so long as they treasure the priceless privileges bought with the blood of our forefathers; so long as the principles of truth, justice and charity for all remain deeply rooted in human hearts, I shall continue to be the enduring banner of the United States of America.


I have written a poem long time ago about America and American flag, I want to dedicate it to this special day.


 " Moving Forward "
Moving forward to the future with promise

We'll be together united as one.

One country, one people, one nation

Pursuing happiness without causing harm.

United by ideas

Of liberty and justice for all.

Inspired by true heroes

Together we must answer this call.

In glory of the flag

In stars and stripes,

Proudly waving in the sky above,

We find the strength and courage to abide
To common purpose,
Knowing justice must prevail,

In trusting God 
will be on our side.

Happy National flag Day to American people in America and around the World :)!
