"The Colors of Freedom"

American flag

"Red, White and Blue"

Freedom rings, "Red, White and Blue," true to being Americans who sing "God Bless America" along with "Star Bangled Banner" which stands for freedom to all. True to the colors of "Red, White and Blue."

Our flag flies high in the early morning dew that gives way to a blue sky full of hope for freedom. As the morning sun and the winds of the late afternoon sun find Red, White and Blue still true to her America. As the sun sets "Old Glory" is still red, white and blue, true to the American Spirit. Red, White and Blue colors that don't run are still true to all who have been touched by September 11, 2001.

May all Americans who perished on September, 11, 2001 enter the Pearly Gates of Heaven, as Saint Peter says, "Welcome Home. The Father is waiting for you. Go to the Door with the Red, White and Blue Flags."

May all the family, friends and co-workers who lost loved ones be comforted, knowing their loved ones gave so much for "Liberty, Freedom and Justice for all." Red, White and Blue colors mean being a "Free American." There's nothing like it!
