Frank, you've composed the multiple images of our American flag in a very eye-pleasing way. Just looking at the stars on a blue field and the stripes of red and white made me feel so good, I had to look up the history of "Stars and Stripes Forever". John Phillip Sousa, the "March King", wrote it Christmas Day, 1896. The full history is on Wikipedia ~ makes for fascinating reading.
Thanks, my friend, for reminding me that being a U.S. citizen is one of the greatest gifts I've ever known. And celebrating that privilege shouldn't be limited to the 4th of July!
