their eyes when the Star Spangled Banner is played or the pledge of allegiance is recited. There is the visualization of those bombs bursting in air and the realization that
the soldiers lived through terror, only to find that the fight was worthwhile as they saw their flag still flying in the morning. The significance of the American Revolution cannot
