" 'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

That is the most beautiful photo of our flag I've ever seen. The entire poem is moving and stirs the heart. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the whole package. The purple mountain majesty Bitterroot background factored in on that, I'm sure. :-)
