June 14th is observed as Flag Day each year because on June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes for the flag ... We call her 'Old Glory', She rightfully sows The seeds to Her story where ever She goes! 'The Star Spangled Banner' that blows in the wind, Portraying Her power to foe, yes, and friend- Our emblem of freedom, She's stood through the years, And never seceded — by blood, sweat and tears! Our Flag! We salute You on each special day, We vow to be true and show others the way To live in a world where our freedom abounds; Each time You unfurl we hear victory sounds! We pledge our allegiance with hand on our heart, And dare to be different; not being a part Of those who would burn You or cast You aside, But highly esteem You and raise You in pride! Indeed, She's 'Old Glory', and rightfully so, Her story of freedom we'll never outgrow- America, let us again take a stand, For it is a must to accomplish our plan In raising our Flag and proclaim with each wave, 'The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave'!
