I Am Proud to Be An American

[big][c=#003BB2]HAPPY FLAG DAY TO ALL![/c][/big]
These lyrics come from Johnny Cash's [i]Ragged Old Flag[/i] written in 1974. During a troubled time in our country's history with Watergate and Vietnam on everyone's minds. But his lyrics, especially the last verse, can certainly still apply to us today.

[i]"So we raise her up every morning,
And we bring her down slow every night,
We don't let her touch the ground,
And we fold her up right.
On second thought,
I DO like to brag,
Cause I'm mighty proud of
That Ragged Old Flag."[/i]

Thanks for posting this. It's a good reminder that our flag, and our country, has been through a lot, but it's still here and hopefully will be for a long time to come.
