The Stars and Stripes Forever

A TORN, TATTERED flag flying against the background of bombshells at Fort McHenry. A battle-scarred flag, flying over the U.S. Marines as they stormed Iwo Jima. A silken flag, flying from the porch of an American home in the countryside. A crisp, new flag flying over the terrace of the White House. A noble flag in the corner of a school room as a boy lays his hand over his heart to pledge allegiance.
