While riding my bicycle the other day, I passed a house with a front porch. Hanging from the porch was this American flag. I was dismayed by its condition: bedraggled, ripped, tangled, disrespected, forlorn, hanging on by a thread. And it reminded me of this great country for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all... and how far we may have fallen from our forefathers' vision and our earlier glory. A sobering thought indeed.
