  1. Those who aren't proud to be an American, may I point out there are airlines flying all over the world, to pretty much every nation. Free free to avail yourself of them. "Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land!" Sir Walter Scott

  2. Barbara Frietchie John Greenleaf Whittier (Snip) Bravest of all in Frederick town, She took up the flag the men hauled down; In her attic window the staff she set, To show that one heart was loyal yet. Up the street came the rebel tread, Stonewall Jackson riding ahead. Under his slouched hat left and right He glanced: the old flag met his sight. “Halt!”— the dust-brown ranks stood fast. “Fire!”— out blazed the rifle-blast. It shivered the window, pane and sash; It rent the banner with seam and gash. Quick, as it fell, from the broken staff Dame Barbara snatched the silken scarf; She leaned far out on the window-sill, And shook it forth with a royal will. “Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, But spare your country’s flag,” she said.
