Happy 4th of July. (I know, I know I'm late... Anyway... )
Happy Birthday AMERICA!!!
I was very awestruck by the sight of the original "Old Glory" in the Smithsonian. It was a piece of history that I didn’t realize had even been preserved. It was so enormous and so threadbare that it was in a special sealed room with special lighting. It was so fragile that no one was allowed to even take a flash picture of it because the lighting could deteriorate it even more. As people filed by it, they were speaking in hushed tones – if they spoke at all. This was the flag that inspired the national anthem – the song that binds us all together for that one moment in time when we put our hand on our heart and sing with a tear in our eyes because we love our country.
