I have always loved that song of Johnny Cash, because it so symbolizes the importance of our American flag. It also reminds me of the time when my late husband Bill had just died and we were driving to the cemetery in Hillsboro and along the way was an old veteran standing on a hill with his military hat on, waving a flag. It was tattered and it was old. My children just gripped my hand and said, ``Oh, Mom, look.'' And that so symbolized what is right and what is great about our country. Mr. Speaker, there are no words to describe the sorrow and the heartache, the tragedy that has rocked our Nation over the past several days.
