Banner Born of Freedom I could hear her popping in the wind As overhead she flew This banner born of freedom The old Red White and Blue As I stood and watched her waving From that flagpole high above I thought of those who died To make free, this land we love Lets us not forget the price was paid To bring freedom to this land For this flag�s no more than fabric Set apart from which it stands So here�s to you Old Glory May you up there always be May your Stars and Stripes forever wave Above this land so proud and free. � Jack Roberts � April 1, 2003
