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.
