Pledge Of Allegiance

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Don't step On My Flag

Every night before I try to sleep,

I pray to God my soul he’ll keep!

Sometimes I wonder why,

Vietnam I survived!

But then I think and see,

God was always watching over me!

But I was left with many of scars,

from that land away so far!

Like so many Veterans of that war,

I seen so many dreadful horrors!

I don’t sleep well at night,

the nightmares I have to fight!

It’s PTSD you see,

that effects me!

I seen many of my brothers die,

sometimes I sit and wonder why!

But I’m still proud to have served,

and would’ve died for her-

she's my “Country ‘tis of thee,

my sweet land of liberty”!

And even though I have nightly frets,

I have no regrets!

I pledged my Allegiance to the USA,

I loved her then and have all my days!

So don’t step on my Flag,

or it’s your body they’ll have to drag!
