Old Glory, The Stars and Stripes, The Red - White - and - Blue
Whatever you call our beautiful American Flag...today commemorates her adoption in 1777.
I remember as a little girl, in elementary school, every morning began with going out to the flag pole to lift her high and Pledge our allegiance. It was such an honor to be chosen to clip her on the line. And at the end of the school day we would lower her down, fold her properly and put her inside for the night.
At the end of the movie "Not Without My Daughter" (starring Sally Field, based on a true story) Betty walks down the street and the Flag emerges from the trees signifying the US Embassy. She has brought such comfort to so many through the years.
Proud to be an American!
