Fly my son fly free,...... [Flags from Around the World]
Uploaded: August 04, 2005 12:48:01
Third in the series:
Fly my son fly free,
fly as high as you can believe,
You are not trapped,
You can dream.....
Because of all the sacrifice a common
man has,
Endured & Seen,
This is the third in the series of four.
