Alaska's Flag, may it mean to you
The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes and the flow'rs nearby,
The gold of the early sourdough dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and streams,
The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
The Bear, the Dipper, and shining high,
The great North star with its steady light.
O'er land and sea a beacon bright,
Alaska's Flag to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.
-Alaska State Song
Written by Marie Drake

There is no where on earth that can compare to Alaska. It is a unique
place which shares its magic with visitors and regulars alike.
I don't know what it is about Alaska that I miss most. The mountains,
the northern lights, the people, the moose.
