Does It Yet Wave?

"The things that the flag stands for were created by the experiences of people.
Everything that it stands for was written by their lives.
The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history.
It represents the experiences made by men and women,
the experiences of those who do and live under the flag." ---Woodrow Wilson

What you do today will decide what your flag will mean to your children tommorrow. ---royalld

Fantastic photo and commentary. I like that the flag may be tattered but it's still flying. It seems very appropriate. V.

Good work, and thanks for the commentary. I got to thinking today about my daughters, who were 9 and 12 five years ago. As time goes on, they will mostly forget ever living in a time before 9/11. I can't predict what that will mean for them, but it sure makes me sad.
