OUR FLAG As I look out the window of my classroom, I can see, rippling and waving in the breeze, OUR FLAG, and I am over-taken by first happiness and then contentment and security. Through all the ages there have been flags, as a symbol of unity, where people are banded together, flags for nations and flags for organizations. Our United States flag is one of the oldest national flags. Adopted in 1777, although not always in the same form, it has not been changed much, except in the number of stars on its beautiful blue field. I do not know what all the other flags mean, but to me our flag is a symbol of many things, the Constitution, free enterprize, the privilege to carve a career, to formulate ideas, and be able to carry them out. It is the symbol of myself and each individual in a bond of friendship, good-will, understanding, and faith that binds the home, the community and the states together into a great nations. All these things that we cherish so much wouldn't be, if our flag were the flag of dictatorship or totalitarian government or one of state ownership. So it makes me feel proud and happy as I watch our flag as it waves so graceful and calmly in the breeze. - Richard Knoedler
