Don't take it all for granted.
Freedom's not for "free."
Cherish every stripe and star-
Bought for you and me!
Down through the many years,
Our flag has been respected.
Remember those who fought in wars
(Leave not their cause neglected.)
Stand and respect our Pledge..
Connecting hand and heart.
Say prayers for the soldiers
Who daily do their part.
We can sleep much sounder
Knowing they are there;
In the water - on the land,
And streaking through the air!
