MY FLAG, MY FLAG





I love celebrating the
Fourth of July.
I love the feeling of
PATRIOTISM.
And I love the powerful symbolism of our FLAG.

I was at my son's college graduation the other day and with my hand over my heart as the Army National Guard presented the colors, I choked up with gratitude and pride for those who have served and now serve our country. I'm always such a ball baby when it comes to those things. And as we said the "Pledge of Allegiance", I came to a sudden and shocking realization that this was the first function in a very, very, very long time that I had been to that the "Pledge of Allegiance" was said. I remember as a child that almost every event you went to, the "Pledge of Allegiance" was said. So, in light of all that our country's flag stands for, here is a flip chart for the song
"My Flag, My Flag" from the Children's Songbook.
I love taking my little flags to Primary and letting the children wave the flags to the rhythm as we sing this song.
