U.S. Flag Day

On By Renee Yann, RSMIn Prayer, spirituality

I originally wrote this prayer for Thanksgiving over 20 years ago. But I have adapted here because I think it fits our celebration today, and may offer us all some food for thought.

For many years, I worked with Dr. Peter Keim, a wonderful friend and colleague. His passion outside of work was the history of the United States flag. I learned so much from Pete who, as well as being a devotee of American history, is an embodiment of the nobility our flag represents.

If you’d like to learn more about Dr. Keim’s work, follow the link below.
Thanks and
Happy Flag Day!

    Your poem is extraordinary, Sister Renee! My first cousin, Donnie, is one who blended into the silence of history, having been flown from VietNam to a hospital in Japan. I shall always remember Flag Day!
