Flag Steward - Honors and Awakens Our Flag to Inform and Inspire Citizens
For this 'America the Beautiful' Sunday, we're inspired by ...
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
