She has seen the tops of mountains and the deepest of valleys. She has been placed on the surface of the Moon and in the darkest chasms of the sea. She is the physical manifestation of our resolve, of our spirit, of our pride and our joy. She is for our nation all things, both universal and individual. She is freedom. She is dignity. She knows no allegiance other than that to her country and her people. She embodies the true nature of what it means to be an American. She has stood strong in the face of trials and tribulations. She’s led our soldiers into victorious battle and dried a nation of tears on more than one occasion. She has shared in all of our joys and has given us unwavering hope in the face of adversity. The Flag of the United States has flown proudly over our nation and our people for over 130 years and will continue to fly as long as freedom, liberty, truth and justice are cornerstones of all that is good and right.
Fly her proudly and often. Don’t just reserve displaying ‘Old Glory” for holidays or special occasions. Fly your flags with unwavering pride everyday wherever you may be. It is your right. It is your duty. It is your responsibility. Those thirteen equal horizontal stripes of red and white, in union with the blue star field representing the 50 states are more than decoration, they are both our history and our future.
It makes me so proud to see so many of you who enjoy the RV lifestyle proudly display your flags at your campsites, homes and businesses. God Bless America, may she proudly wave…forever.
