Fourth of July 2008

"They took the blue of heaven and the white of the milkyway

and bound them with the rays of the sun,

and made the American flag;

and when they placed that banner in the sky,

it became the flag of liberty,

and carried to every shore

and into every clime

the message of freedom

and human progress."
