There that night on the 4th of July…
So we’ve been here before but…
Total Flag Count: 234.
Last Flag: On top of the post office, San Pablo, CA.
The Closing Song: (mp3)
“Washington’s Day” by The Hooters
“Did you think I could ever forget
The night by the Arlington Flame?
In the silence I heard it
Through streets so deserted
You whispered and called me by name.
Did you think I could ever forget
That powerful look in your eye?
Where Lincoln stood strong there
You held me so long there that night
On the fourth of July.”
Happy birthday, America. I love you even when you disappoint the hell out of me.
Good night.
