Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed as the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
and the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there, Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
300 british cannon war ships were determined to destroy Ft Sumpter. on that fateful day the admiral of the fleet said to make sure that that flag was destroyed.
time after time as men fell from the bombs bursting in air more men came up top to take the flag pole and keep it upright.
let's not let our government officials take this away from us.
they didn't hold that flag up. we did i did. you did.
those of us who were in those trenches, and in those deserts and in those jungles and in those alleys and seas......we did.
let those people holding that flag, holding the flag at Iwo Jima, holding those flags on hill 281 in korea, and on those beaches and towns and churches liberated from evil say enough. my flag means we stand one on top of the other, not one against the other.
death was their given option so that we might live.
Dishonor that gift and we dishonor their legacy.
We need to start making gifts for one another.
We need to make death the option of last resort not first resort.
