Of course it is. The Cuban flag does not fly there, but Old Glory does.
No, Guantanamo is NOT part of the United States. It is Cuban territory, leased to the United States under a long-term lease agreement (though Cuba contests the validity of the lease).
U.S. military bases are NOT part of the U.S. - they are part of whichever country/territory/etc. they reside in. Flying the flag there is irrelevant - just as irrelevant as if someone flew a flag of another country outside their house. Legally, military bases are just leased land (though, in most cases, the lease stipulates that the U.S. retains jurisdiction inside the base), and that does NOT change sovereignty. Embassies (NOT INCLUDING consulates) are a special exception in international law, in that they are considered sovereign soil of the country situated on them. All other foreign institutions on a country's soil do NOT change soverignty.
In John McCain's case, the salient fact is NOT that he was born on a military base, but that he was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which was officially U.S. territory at the time (via congressional legislation designating it so), and thus, he is considered a natural-born citizen (and eligible for the Presidency).
To make this more clear - legally, a child born inside a U.S. military base on foreign soil is NOT automatically entitled to U.S. citizenship via the 14th Amendment.

The next line of this old saying actually hints at its origin. The complete phrase is:
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
And a silver sixpence in her shoe. A sixpence is a coin that was minted in Britain from 1551 to 1967. It was made of silver and worth six pennies. So this wedding tradition is definitely English, and many sources say that it began in the Victorianera. Each item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. "Something old" symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and the past. "Something new" means optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead. "Something borrowed" is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family. As for the colorful item, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Christianity has long dressed the Virgin Mary in blue, so purity was associated with the color. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, "Marry in blue, lover be true." And finally, a silver sixpence in the bride's shoe represents wealth and financial security. It may date back to a Scottish custom of a groom putting a silver coin under his foot for good luck. For optimum fortune, the sixpence should be in the left shoe. These days, a dime or a copper penny is sometimes substituted, and many companies sell keepsake sixpences for weddings.
