ONE NATION UNDER GOD
IN GOD WE TRUST

This flag, the symbol of the hopes of man. This cloth of dreams for freedom, justice and opportunity. It’s stars are beacons guiding us through the shoals of adversity. It’s stripes like wounds of struggle. The good in it cannot be had for nothing, like any garden it must be tended, like any loved one it must be held. Hold this flag high and keep its promise bright, for in it lies the best hope for all of us.
Now they lay side by side in foreign waters so distant
from the land and dear ones they loved.
