I've considered starting up the blog again now that I'm back from Saudi Arabia. There is plenty that I could share from there.
But something else came to me to be the first post-deployment blog.
Tell Me, Flag
by N. R. Sickels
O Flag, waving 'bove the
Land of Liberty,
Tell me truly, Flag, what
Is it that you see?
Do your red-and-white stripes
And your star-spangled blue
See a land quite as lovely
As they once used to?
O Flag, rippling o'er
Fifty states united,
Has too much freedom
Left your purity blighted?
Perhaps we burn flags
Whose cloth touch the floor
Because the dust of America
Is, by sin, made so poor.
