More than just a piece of cloth

Semmes, AL

Our flag is more than "just a piece of cloth" that has flown proudly over every battlefield from the American colonies and Fort McHenry to New Orleans, Chancellorsville, Shiloh, Peleliu, Bastogne, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and many others … the Red is the blood of valiant Americans; the White their thoughts of home and their spirit of loyalty; the Blue a field of pure sky with the brilliant stars above, shedding light on the journey from subservient colony to free land showing the world the way to go to be free men.
"Just a piece of cloth" … ? No, I don't think so.
