For decades, the poignant lines of a poem called "My Name Is Old Glory" have been read at military retirements and patriotic ceremonies, touching the hearts of many honored veterans and their families. Composed by an unsung marine named Howard Schnauber who served in both World War II and the Korean War, the poem is not only an expression of Schnauber's personal feelings about "The Star-Spangled Banner" but also a means of teaching others to appreciate and respect our nation's flag. In this book, Schnauber's simple but powerful words blend with timeless images-from a civil rights march to the Moon landing, from Iwo Jima to September 11, 2001-that capture the glory embodied in our national treasure. Interlaced throughout with fascinating historical anecdotes and personal reflections about what Old Glory means to Americans of all ages, this is the quintessential tribute to two hundred years of the red, white, and blue.
