Poem about the flag and freedom by Erwin Wilmerding
Hatered at the Pontoffice in Valley City North Dakota as second class mail matter. Our flag God made the stars of beauty. Their lustre white and bright. Wage taken with the heaven's blue. Pair Freedom's land to light. Then white of peace and purity worth more than richest golds. Was gathered there in ever broadening folds. And then the red of dawning day was mingled with the white. And red and white and heaven's blue United were far right. Then over all of Freedom's land this land between the sea Glory-yea the Stars and Stripes was given to the breeze.
