I saw a flag the wind had tattered No one to care or think it mattered! Wind torn and faded stripes were flapping Pale stars upon dim blue were napping! I wondered if a bugle blowing, Would rouse our country to bestowing… Upon our flag more true devotion; And stir our hearts with real emotion! Forgotten there, so bravely flying A symbol worn, but never dying! A challenge! to a nation sleeping A loyal sentry, Watch is keeping!… Edna R. Zunino
This is a shot of a veteran that marched in a Memorial Day parade s few years ago in Bentleyville, Pa.
