That Ragged Old Flag

That ragged old flag waving over the trees,

Reminds us of the battles she’s seen. She’s been to Iraq and Afghanistan and flown over Korea and Vietnam. We’ve seen her fly on Pearl Harbor

too and in Desert Storm, she fought so

true.

She’s stood at attention on many graves.

The road to freedom, she’s helped to pave.

She’s flown on ships as they go to war,

and carried by our troops here and afar.

The red, white and blue will forever wave,

Helping our country, It’s freedom to save! The pledge of Allegiance we’ll say out

loud, That ragged old flag makes us mighty

proud! America’s banner majestically flies, Streaming her colors against the sky!
