THE FLAG OF THE U. S. A.

girl holding flag taller than she is
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.
