OUR FLAG
By Joseph Weinburger, USCG (2001)

She's called Old Glory by most old timers
as she flies for all to see
from every mast and every staff
where men are all born free

From days of Fort McHenry
star spangled banner, she
waves above our freemen's land
for all the world to see

And from those days she's served us well
as emblem of our cause
serving as a rally point
she waves without a pause

She flies where free men live and thrive
because of others gone before
who cared enough for freedom's cause
through all the days of yore

In peace or war she proudly waves
her stars and stripes unfurled
here at home or carried by
our ships around the world

'Neath this banner held and proud
men rally to the call
for justice served and justice done
while standing brave and tall

Men and women have served her well
stood ready with support
for under God our nation stands
as freedom's mighty fort.
