From sea to shining sea, the greatness of the United States of America has been seen in gleaming alabaster cities, purple mountain majesties, fruited plains, and waves of grain for over two centuries. The sacrifices of everyday heroes, whose engraved names mark monuments and tombstones, have enriched the greatness of this nation since before the Revolutionary War. Yet still today, there are patriotic citizens pledging allegiance every day as Old Glory waves in the wind at sports events, corporate offices, city streets, front porches, or flagpoles.
“American flags are everywhere. You have to hunt to find the flag in Germany or Australia. That’s not the case here; it is omnipresent!”
