Old Glory

First Flight of Old Glory
.

standing tall and fine

she waves proudly to the crowd

her freedom hard won

    'Old glory' (borrowing Kathy's words) - my kind of glory. It's just wonderful. May we never lose our freedom.

    I can't help but wonder why we use the feminine pronoun to refer to Old Glory...
