Yet Wave!

The first stanza of The Star Spangled Banner is commonly recognized as the National Anthem of the United States.  The song was written by attorney Francis Scott Key in 1814 after he watched the British attack American soldiers at Fort McHenry in Baltimore, MD.  The song is a beautiful testament to how American soldiers were able to endure the attack from the larger and more powerful British Navy.  Key witnessed "the rockets red glare" and "bombs bursting in air" around the American flag at Fort McHenry.  After all of the attacks Key was unable to see whether or not the flag continued to fly above the fort because of the dust, war debris, and rain in the air.  The next morning Key saw Old Glory still flying- "O' say does that star spangled banner yet wave!"  Today as we celebrate Independence Day let us take a lesson from our precious flag at Fort McHenry- Yet Wave.  No matter how difficult our days, lives, or careers may be we must keep waving, keep flying, keep standing tall!  Keep trying.  Keep working.  Keep planning.  Keep strategizing.  Keep believing.  Never give up on your goals.  Never give up on your dreams.  Endure failures.  Regroup, reorganize, or reevaluate your work- but never quit.  Always remember that you can do it!  -Derek, Principal DAT Solutions & Consulting. www.ConsultingDAT.com\
