This starts your mind thml-.ing about the glorious past of that flag It starts you thinking about the brawe men living and dead who were willing to give up eserythmg so that we at home would know that when Great Old Glory is flying we still haxe our noble freedoms We hawe the freedom to vote the frcedom to worship 28 the freedom to publish what we will and last but greatest in importance the freedom to speak ac cording to our belief And then there is the future which we also think about Will this same flag still be flying for our children when they are the same age we are now? Or will there be a different flag under which you or I lose the freedom which we have so bravely fought to preserxel proud of its destiny In a world of conflict and as sured of our faith in and faithfulness to the noble cause it represents Let us assure ourselxes that in exery duty we may prcsenc its strength allowing our children and grandchildren thc pridc and honor of seeing it fly abowe its colors giving hope and light nn an un enlightened world c !
