Those that don’t want to stand up for the USA flag need to read these words and listen to Lee Greenwood’s song – hopefully then they will appreciate the freedom they have and be thankful they live in the “home of the free because of the brave.”

To disrespect the flag is wrong. If you have an issue with something, take that issue elsewhere.

“If tomorrow all the things were gone I’d worked for all my life, and I had to start again with just my children and my wife, I’d thank my lucky stars to be livin’ here today ‘cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can’t take that away.

“And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free, and I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, 'cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.

“From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee, across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea. From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A., well there’s pride in every American heart and it’s time we stand and say;

“That I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, ‘cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.”
