Happy Birthday America

This picture was taken this last weekend in Baldwin County's Magnolia Springs. There is no more beautiful flag in the world than the flag of my nation. There is nothing like being in a foreign land only to see a plane with that flag on the side or that flag waving over an embassy. There are few things more heartbreaking than the rows of this flag at Arlington Cemetery. Few things more moving than to see an aging verteran stand with tears slatuting all that those red stripes, white background, blue sky and star represent.

It is a grand old flag and it still makes my heart stir.
