Yesterday I watched the sun rise on the battlefield of Gettysburg and today I watched a victory at the land of the free and the home of braves!

The Philadelphia crew has made it to Gettysburg. We did a night time walking tour, and we are now getting settled in our hotel for the night. Going to the Battlefield tomorrow.

I am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
my head is a little higher, my colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshiped I am saluted.
I am loved I am revered.
I am respected and I am feared.
I have fought in every battle of every war
for more than 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg,
Shiloh and Appomattox.
I was there at San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France,
in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome
and the beaches of Normandy, Guam.
Okinawa, Korea and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me,
I was there.
I led my troops,
I was dirty, battle-tested and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me
And I was proud.
America has been attacked by cowardly fanatics
And many lives have been lost
But those who would destroy me cannot win
For I am the symbol of freedom,
Of one nation
Under God
Indivisible
With liberty and justice for all.
I have been burned, torn and trampled
on the streets of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt, for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn
and trampled on the streets of my country.
And when it's by those whom I've served in battle it hurts.
But I shall overcome for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of Earth
and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space
from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness
to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages
for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,
When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier,
Or when I lie in the trembling arms
of a grieving parent
at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,
I am proud.
MY NAME IS OLD GLORY
LONG MAY I WAVE

Gettysburg! Seems like I was just here! Oh, right I was - Monday. Today, we will be back in Geneva! All are welcome to come visit - I have plenty of space (less since I am bringing a house worth of crap back from NC...)

A Dry Run
Last week was invited to participate in an event in the United States called the Faces of America bike ride, with other soldiers who have disabilities.
What a awesome opportunity, I am so appreciative that I wAs contacted via email.
Cycling from Washington to Gettysburg a distance just under 200 km, it will be the first time cycling this distance.
This event will be a great confidence booster, and a good dry run for Paris to London in May.
Look forward to meeting everyone next month in the United States and in May
At the Big Battlefield Ride 2013.
