Write your comment about The Flag poem by Arthur Macy
Carol Lingo : In the late 50's and 60's we sang this song in Assembly. Taught to us by Mrs. Dorothy Munson at Joseph H. Brown School Philadelphia Pa. As the flags came from the back of the auditorium down the center aisle we stood to honor them and sang this beautiful song. Unfortunately I cannot find a recording of this.
