Yeah, that works too.

As for what the flag is, it's you. It's also me. And it's the way we stand for what is right, as well as the way we can openly argue about just what is right, and what is not. It represents the people of this nation -- and it is a great nation. Doesn't require a lot of research to figure that out.

* we will continue to progress
* we will continue to make mistakes
* we will continue to correct our errors
* we will continue to cover-up our errors
* we will continue to be straight forward
* we will continue to sidestep the issues
* we will continue in our battles
* we will continue in our hopes for peace
* we will tend to our wounded, we will bury our dead -- and we will remember
* we are a nation of people, and we are free to continue
