“Stars and Stripes”

Stars and Stripes, they flew

forever always in his heart.

He was loyal to his nation

and bravely did his part.

Always thinking of his brother

ever in his mind.

He stood for love of country

and most of all, mankind.

Now gazing down with his Master

through a light and heavenly cloud,

He’s still looking out for all of

us of whom he is so proud.
