Those who died for my right to speak in freedom are buried in many places under the sun. I fly proudly over their graves at all of these places, praying that wars might end forever. I rise every morning to watch over the graves of our finest men whose years were short, but whose service was longer than we can ever measure. I Am the American Flag
