Under a Flag of 50 Stars

A poem about the qualities that make us American.

By Marlisa B. from Scott County High School in Kentucky

America we are free

We are proud

We are soldiers under a flag of 50 stars

We breathe in oxygen on the land we

stand, we fought for and protected

This is America

We are free

We are proud

We are soldiers under a flag of 50 stars

We cried blood sweat and tears

We ran past bullets

That grazed our skin

We had hope that our country could live again

We are free

We are proud

Soldiers under a flag of 50 stars

Take a breath

Take a seat

Take a leap

You are not alone, we are 1, 2, and a million

Our hearts beat as one

We are the land of the free and

The home of the brave

This is me this is you

We are free

We are proud

We are soldiers under a flag of 50 stars.
