I had a lot of fun making this one. It all came together over a quick breakfast-for-dinner at Perkins with my boyfriend Mark. Three Post-it notes of scribbling and we had seven beautiful themers, plus a few in reserve that I'll use for nudges. Thanks to Dr. Tom for feedback and Abide for the perfect title.

Questo è un concorso/meta puzzle. Per inviare la tua risposta, prima finisci di risolvere la griglia (o rivelala se rimani bloccato o risolvi offline).
Very nice!!! of course I knew what the answer would be once I figured out those DEVIOCROSS entries (haha see what I did there?) but wanted to finish the grid properly and enjoy all the cluing before submitting. Wendy you are definitely the rookie of the year of constructors! And already an ex-rookie!
We went hiking. About a mile in, when two trails merged, Mark started singing, " 'Reunited and it feels so good' ... hey, that might be a good meta!"

Loved the Stars and Stripes Forever title. You didn't ask for solver contributions, but you're going to get them anyway. Just remember correlation is not CATION. And of course Tom Hulse and F. Murray Abraham, who are AMADECTORS.
Agree with Kay above... what a great puzzle, only a month or so after your maiden voyage?? And remarkably elegant too, with all those USAs symetrically extracted - wow! (love the title too, Abide!)
Fun, thanks. Couldn't finish the NE corner because I had a couple of wrong squares (I never spell UHURA properly, and entered one of the USA letters into 30A by mistake). Eventually got there with a few googles. Nifty puzzle overall.
very clever! hard to figure out what was going on but worth it. Despite that it was still a tough (in a fun way) grid. I overthought the actual meta in trying to spell out the letters the USAs stood for.
Very clever and timely. Must say that I had a tough time with quite a few of the straight entries. One I figured out 1A then it became a game to discover the other locations.
So much fun! Actually this one came together pretty easily: Except for the central themer, all of them were six or seven letters long (minus the USA), so I could fit them in the grid symmetrically.
