By Thomas F. Whiteman
I stand tall with pride and dignity
A symbol of truth, honor, and liberty
I cry out to those who fought and died for me
Be it on land, in the air, or on an angry sea
My blue is for your loyalty
My white is for its purity
My red is for their courage, and the blood they shed
I was with you on the sands of Iwo; also Wake and Guam
On the bone chilling hills of Korea
and in the steaming jungles of Vietnam
You didn't falter, though torn along your side
A tribute to the many; a vision of your pride
So for those who shed their blood and tears
I proudly represent their courage and fears...AMERICA!
Look up to me and as you do
Please remember always, that I am you...
