Altho some people like to brag, It was sewn by Hopkinson, Ross got legendary praise, So let's give credit where it's due, L.T. (Francis Hopkinson designed flags for the Navy. He designed the American Flag as a part of his duties but was never paid for it. There was no commission paid to Betsy Ross.)
that may clear up some of the misunderstanding
about the design and making of our flag: "Old Glory."
I'd like to set the record straight,
even if a little late.
Betsy didn't sew our flag.
Who wasn't paid when he was done.
That's lasted up to modern days.
For sewing the red, white and blue.
