God rest their souls

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

"And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A." (Lee Greenwood)

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
  That mark our place; and in the sky
  The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
  Loved and were loved, and now we lie
      In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
  The torch; be yours to hold it high.
  If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
      In Flanders fields.

This is why we stand for our flag! I'm referring to the photo of all the flag draped coffins in the plane. Under those flags are the bodies of someone's son or daughter, husband or wife, mother or father. That is why we stand!

If you know a Vietnam vet, tell them “welcome home” and “thank you”. They are still waiting to hear it. Long overdue for these brave men and women.

There are many, many different reasons why Americans

’stand for the flag.’ Honoring the dead might be your reason,

but for many, it might be for a totally different, but still

admirable, reason.
