Old Glory
I am the star-spangled banner...
Conceived out of the love
America bore for liberty and honor.

I am the memorial for countless heroes
Who shed their blood to preserve this
sacred heritage

I have inspired generations of gallant
men who fought against tyranny

I am the spirit of Valley Forge...
Of Sacrifice... Of courage.

I have guarded every rampart where
freedom defended its glorious cause.

Tripoli.. Belleau Wood.. Argonne Forest..
Omaha Beach.. Anzio.. Bastogne..
Guadalcanal.. Coral Sea..
Leyte Gulf.. Iwo Jima.. Korea..
Viet Nam.

I fly wherever Americans gave their lives
To preserve the sanctity of life.

My home is in the hearts of all who feel
A thrill of pride when they salute me.
And what I symbolize —

God, Country, Freedom
Valor
In memory of those from Yadkin County
Who made the supreme sacrifice

Iwo Jima - February 23, 1945
