Old Glory (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781393393894)

Sometime ago, while going through a little blue shoebox, left by my Grandmother Molly N. (Morgan) Chaney, I found a tract from the 1950s. Having read the bulletin sometime in the distant past, at the time it did not seem to be as important to me. At the top of the pamphlet on the front was a handwritten note, which read: This was written by a friend of ours. A wonderful man. He died last summer.

The handwritten note was either from my Great-Uncle Jim Morgan or his wife, Great-Aunt Gladys. I know from another letter in his last years, she was writing for him as he dictated. Anyway, the tract is something special to me. Reading it now, I at once think about all the protesting, riots, and violence in the summer of 2020. It also caused me to think about the athletes kneeling during the National Anthem. Inside this booklet you'll find the text of the tract, Old Glory, written by E. K. Bailey of Seattle Washington expressing beautiful sentiments about our flag and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The tract tells a story about the compelling symbolism of our great country's flag, the Stars and Stripes. The story runs counter to many beliefs today which try to eliminate Christianity, Patriotism, and the principles and freedoms provided by the Declaration of Independence and Constitution with its Amendments. You will also find a few of the author's personal musings about patriotism, the current attacks against the founding principles of our great country, and the full text of the Star-Spangled Banner.
