The Story of the "The Flag"
"The Flag" was written in December 2007 after
hearing another story on the news...complaining
about our Pledge of Allegiance and the "under GOD"
phrase. Then hearing interviews from young people
on the street about what their country meant to them
and its many freedoms. One young man replied that
he didn't owe his country anything because what has
his country ever done for him?. Going from shock,
sadness and disbelief Jeff went to the back room
and started writing this song. A little later he was
joined by Steve, they fine tuned it, they arranged it
and with the strong feelings they both share, came
up with this song.... "THE FLAG"
