I look at those who raised the flag,
at those who died in honor's halls,
at those below the dust, the towers
of light where freedom's children -
in a moment of self-sacrifice,
stood up for this undying dream, Liberty;
the dream that is America, brave and true,
no symbol of a tyrant's gaze could look upon,
a place and promise of democracy,
defended by those in uniform,
on land and sea and air above,
who guard the night against our deadly foe.
