May we never forget...
those who have fallen and given all.

May we support those who grieve...
turned to Gold, they sacrificed all.

A crisply folded flag stands for Valor and for Honor.
Its stripes are not decorations, they represent courage under
fire.

Its stripes mark the passing of a son, of a daughter.
They symbolize the sacrifice of a mother and a father.

A prayer for the ones who have died

The Old Flag

H.C. Bunner
Off with your hat as the flag goes by! And let the heart have it say; You're man enough for a tear in your eye That you will never wipe away. You're man enough for a thrill that goes To your very finger-tips-- Ay! the lump just then in your throat that rose Spoke more than your parted lips. Lift up the boy on your shoulder high, And show him the faded shred; Those stripes would be red as the sunset sky If death could have dyed them red. Off with your hat as the flag goes by! Uncover the youngster's head; Teach him to hold it holy and high For the sake of its sacred dead.
