A SALUTE TO AMERICA

A SALUTE TO AMERICA-- (From the Red,White, Blue and Gray) Welcome to Baby Boomer Patriotism 101 We're glad you came today--- Before you dismiss us graying seniors Here's a word on the Red,White Blue and Gray. Although we may all be gray-headed )And usually prefer driving in the slow lane) We still always get to where we're going And Old Glory's honor is our great gain. Though America's Torch of Liberty is burning low We must raise it up much higher--- You can count on the Red,White,Blue and Gray We're here to keep fueling Freedom's Fire! We faithfully fought in Korea and Viet Nam And victoriously won World WarII

too; We fought for the Freedom of America The undefeated Red,White and Blue. Socialism is NOT America's Constitutional goal We're taking our great Nation back! Back to Freedom, back to GOD No more skidding off America's track. So now although we are sure getting older And our fringes may be getting gray; We the People plan to reclaim our land So won't you stand strong with us today? Let's sing louder the "Star Spangled Banner" Let's hum again 'American the Beautiful" too; Let some hot tears roll down your cheeks Many brave soldiers have died for America too. Honor America with the "Pledge of Allegiance" Defend the very Soul of America today; Put your right hand over your heart And Thank God for the Red,White,Blue and Gray! 2013 by Douglas Raymond Rose Member Academy of American Poets
