Service Flag Address On the Occasion of the Unfurling of the School Service Flag, Mai) Fifteenth A flag stands for the hopes of a nation, the courage of a nation, and all that a nation finally accomplishes. A flag is not a fragment of brightly colored bunting to be prized for its beauty and harmony of color. A flag stands for wars on land and on sea, for the motives that prompted them, for the lives that were lost, for the victories gained. A flag stands for peace, for its public and private life and for its ideals. Our national flag stands for liberty, justice, honor and law. It has taken over one hundred years of Americanism to make it mean all these thinigs. It has taken the high courage, the brave deeds and the untiring efforts of our people to make it a reality. It stands for a nation established for liberty and justice, whose struggles have all been in the same cause. Our nation can well be proud of its war record. No nation has ever been so generous to its enemies, no nation has done more for progress and less for power. We love our old flag; its red bars of courage, its white stripes of purity, its blue field of justice. It stands for the best there is in us and all that we hold dear. Soon after the United States entered our present war some form of banner was wanted by the people who had sent soldiers to the service. I have the honor tonight of unfurling our service flag with its sixty-five blue stars and its one of gold. This flag shows that many of the sons of our old Chinook High School have placed their lives at the disposal of our country in its time of need. Many of these boys are now in active service in France to help crush the last stand of despotism and to wipe forever the curse of autocracy from the face of the earth. This particular service flag has a deeper meaning to us than merely a beautiful banner. We are proud of the numbers who have gone and of the fact that six in the service represent the class of 1915. These boys are our own; the sons, brothers and friends of Chinook. The gold star shines for our cheerful, friendly Steve Bagan, who was one of our first volunteers. We had hoped, as we hope for the others, that he might return to us, but he will be remembered as one who offered everything for his country. The value of this emblem will not end with the present struggle, but the loyalty and bigness of sacrifice that it represents, will be an inspiration to our m nils in the years to come. May the old Chinook High School cherish and reverence this flag and its Page Fire
