Two hundred years ago, a country was born. Like the autumn leaves that surrender to time, the first 200 years exit in a glorious and brilhant display of color, a celebration of life. The rose, a symbol of rebirth, signifies the beginning of the next 200 years. Life blossoms anew, in itself a celebration. The death of the leaves and the bloom of the rose symbolize nature ' s change; the death of old aspirations and the bloom of new ideals symbolize society ' s change. We can be the slaves of change or the creators of it — but its inevitability is certain. The Editors, 1976.
