So here is my tribute to the flag of that country, and my thanks for those who sacrificed their lives for what it represents.
“O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light…
…what so proudly we hailed...
...at the twilight’s last gleaming…
…whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight…
…O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming…
…And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there…
..O say does that star spangled banner yet wave…
…O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”
Happy Thanksgiving!

Cool flag photos! Did you shoot those over the years while on trips over here?
Great flag pics! Did it take you awhile to find them all?. I recognize one of them. :)
thanks! yes this is an accumulation over the past few years - although a few of them were from my trip to New York this summer! represented are Arizona, Indiana, and New York (city, as well as Ellis Island)...
thanks for plugging the old country..er, new country, but old to you... boy, how does that work?? Anyway, glad to see you still appreciate the USofA. :-)
I love the pictures! Is it a little wierd to celebrate Thanksgiving in a different country? Did you get a day off of work?
Thanksgiving is a day that we've managed to take all the way to Australia with us.

Getting together with those fellow Americans, as well as a Thanksgiving service and dinner with our church.
I love the flag pictures.
