Very powerful poem! Very well made PBS special! Oh PBS - this should be shown during football and baseball games, along with God Bless America they play. (Also John Wayne's reading "America why i love her" poem is powerful.)
Thank you so much for this excellent piece of Johnny Cash in top form. The part about the different peoples who shed red blood for the flag is not in the recorded version, at least I never heard it before. I wonder if Johnny added it just for the occasion. May God rest his soul !
Yep, he added that part. It replaced, "She waved from our ships upon the Briny foam, And now they've about quit waving her back here at home." Thank you.
From John Carter Cash (Johnny's son) : "My father Johnny Cash was an airforce man. Dad was a high speed morse code interceptor, stationed in Bavaria. He received a number of accolades and presidential letters through his three year career. He was the first westerner to hear the news of Stalin‘s death, and intercepted the signal for translation when the Soviet Union first broke the sound barrier in an aircraft. In other words... he was a spy" Source:facebook.com/JohnCarterCash/photos/my-father-johnny-cash-was-an-airforce-man-dad-was-a-highspeed-morse-code-interce/2618124078281610/
"And she's getting threadbare and she’s wearing kinda thin But she's in good shape for the shape she's in 'Cause she's been through the fire before And she can take a whole lot more" Man, that part gets me every time. Thanks for the comment.
I love this Country Matt Neill USN Vietnam

Love that Raged old flag 🇺🇸
"And she's getting threadbare
and she’s wearing kinda thin
But she's in good shape for the shape she's in
'Cause she's been through the fire before
And she can take a whole lot more"
Man, that part gets me every time.
Thanks for the comment.
