THE FLAG OF THE U. S. A.

I belong to this flag;

This flag belongs to me,

Because brave men have lived and died

To set its people free;

There are other flags in other lands,

And more upon the sea,

But the flag to-day of the U. S. A.

Is the flag for you and me.

If I belong to this flag,

And this flag belongs to me,

I’ll live or die, if there is need,

To keep its people free;

No other flag has braver men,

Either on land or sea,

Than the flag to-day of the U. S. A.—

The flag for you and me.

—J. E. F.
