God Bless America...and you too for posting such a nice thread. The good of the many vs. the wants of the one. I'd join up now if I were younger.

If tommorow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life
and I had to start again
with just my children and my wife
I thank my lucky stars
to be living here today
where the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away

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 proudly 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

I'm torn here, LL.

A relative made a quilt for my daughter - it has the American flag on it as one of the symbols of the things my daughter loves. It's a patch-type thing. Is this decoration?!?

*sigh*

Stars And Stripes

welcoming with open arms and with open hearts
in the end they found their arms in shackles and their hearts torn out
this country named "america" is built on graves
of the natives who lived here before genocide took place
the word "america" means "freedom" - as in, "free to kill the free..."

chorus:
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
For me!

it's the same today as then, as U.S. (tax) dollars are spent
to rid the native insurgence in Mexico, and any other U.S. (corporate) "interests"
the 3rd world is a modern day playground for multinational companies
and the tax dollars we're forced to pay, fund these heartless U.S. policies
their explanation... "it's national interest, national security..."

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

at little big horn national cemetery, there's a monument that reads:
"to the soldiers killed in montana while clearing hostile indians away...'
and there's a flag there flying high, over the fallen killers' graves
when they call on me to die for them i'll say... "not me!"

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me
they stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing I believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me, for me, for me.
