"Old Glory "-Our Flag

Millions walk throughout lands and see men take stands.                          Flags of countries are symbols displayed; some, making sure one has not strayed.

Colors of red, white and blue, United States Flag speaks loud, flying proud.

Privileged are we, living in a land of the free. Adopted by Congress, June 14, 1777, our country now had a flag, and all were glad. A Marine Committee sat in a city, from the Second Continental Congress and adopted a resolution towards a solution. In Philadelphia, PA, the Marine Committee read;                   "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field representing a new constellation."

Around 47 years passed, our flag would soon be harassed. Captain William Driver, 21 years young, had developed a sharp tongue.

Love for his country and a man of conviction, he would soon be facing infliction.

Preparing for a voyage, he would enjoy, as captain of a ship, he would not slip. Made for Captain Driver, by his mother and other women, an American flag. 12 x 24 feet, it was now complete.

His American Flag expanded, and flying,  there was no denying, her length showed strength.
