Opinion: South Colton man writes poem about our Grand Old Flag

To the Editor:

Our Flag

I looked around on Memorial Day

And our Grand Old Flag was on display.

It hung on homes and flag poles too,

I love to see the Red, White, and Blue.

By Flag Day there will be hardly a flag,

Except at my house, I hate to brag.

Boy the Fourth of July it’s back in its glory,

There’s a lot of history in its story.

But after the Fourth our flag goes away,

Except for a few on Veteran’s Day.

If you love our country, then fly Old Glory.

You too can be part of its story.

Fly our flag every day of the year;

Show your allegiance, make it clear.

We live in a great country, it’s true,

So get out your flag, fly the Red, White, and Blue.
