reminders from cemeteries and old films

It seems it always happens. Whenever we get too high-hat and too sophisticated for flag-waving, some thug nation decides we're a push-over all ready to be blackjacked. And it isn't long before we're looking up, mighty anxiously, to be sure the flag's still waving over us.

  2. Great photo.... It is as though the fray and icicles on the flag are showing her toughness and perseverance. A fitting quote, as well.
    Blessings to you today!
