Red White and Blue Forever.

Linda Louise Johnson
Red for the passion to believe.

Red for the fire in a soldier's heart.

Red for innocent blood spilled on battlefields.

White for honor.

White for purity of motive

White for a cross on a grave at Arlington.

Blue for truth that transcends.

Blue for independence from all save God.

Blue for freedom from tyranny for all.

Red white and blue forever.
