Quote of the Day
Your flag and my flag,
And how it flies today
In your land and my land
And half a world away!
Rose-red and blood-red
The stripes forever gleam;
Snow-white and soul-white--
The good forefathers' dream;
Sky-blue and true-blue,
with stars to gleam aright--
The gloried guidon of the day,
a shelter through the night.
-- Wilbur D. Nesbit, "A Song for Flag Day," st. 1
