I am the Star Spangled Banner ... conceived in 1777 out of the love Americans 
have for liberty and honor.

I am the memorial of 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 ... Vietnam ... 

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
