I am your flag.

I Am Your Flag.

I am your Flag
I was born on June 14th, 1777.
I am more than just cloth shaped into design.
I am the refuge of the World's oppressed people.
I am the silent sentinel of Freedom.
I am the emblem of the greatest
sovereign nation on earth.

I am the inspiration for which American Patriots
gave their lives and fortunes.
I have led your sons into battle from Valley Forge
to the bloody swamps of Vietnam.
I walk in silence with each of your Honored Dead,
to their final resting place beneath the silent
White Crosses, row upon row.
I have flown through Peace and War,
Strife and Prosperity,
and amidst it all I have been respected.

My Red Stripes....symbolize the blood spilled
in defense of this glorious nation.
My White Stripes....signify the burning tears
shed by Americans who lost their sons.
My Blue Field....is indicative of God's heaven
under which I fly.
My Stars....clustered together, unify 50 states as one,
for God and Country.
"Old Glory" is my nickname,
and proudly I wave on high.

Honor me, respect me, defend me
with your lives and fortunes.
Never let my enemies tear down from my lofty position,
lest I never return.
Keep alight the fires of patriotism,
strive earnestly for the spirit of democracy.
and I shall remain the bulwark of peace
and freedom for all mankind.
I am your Flag.

We have enjoyed the red neck jokes for years. It's time to take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up. Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are made of. I hope I am one of those. If you feel the same, pass this on to your redneck friends. Ya'll know who ya' are.

You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God.'

You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a redneck if: You still say ' Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival.'

You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a redneck if: You stand and & place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

You might be a redneck if: You treat our armed forces veterans with great respect, and always have and always will.

You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an American flag, nor intend to.

You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and raised your kids to do the same.

You might be a redneck if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

God Bless the USA !
