Part 1 — THE FLAG OF THE U. S. A.
Reading edition
I belong to this flag; This flag belongs to me, Because brave men have lived and died To set its people free; There are other flags in other lands, And more upon the sea, But the flag to-day of the U. S. A. Is the flag for you and me. If I belong to this flag, And this flag belongs to me, I’ll live or die, if there is need, To keep its people free; No other flag has braver men, Either on land or sea, Than the flag to-day of the U. S. A.— The flag for you and me. —J. E. F.
