I Love America Day On October 3, 1983, for the third consecutive year, I Love America Day was held at Mississippi College. The entire day consisted of a series of activities directed by chairman Christy Taylor. Patriotic festivities were initiated with a very effective speech given by Governor William Winter. He skillfully set the frame of mind of his audience with this thought: Patriotism is best shown by caring — more so than the brightest colors or even the most beautiful symbols. He expressed that love for America can be shown by actions that directly help the people of America. Winter’s speech was followed by a flag history of Mississippi, with historical trivia presented about each of the flags that have flown over Mississippi. The ceremony was followed by a reception featuring the all-American delicacy, apple pie, on the patio. Students were honored with free gifts of flag pins, pencils, and miniature flags. As the day drew to a close, each participant seemed to harbor this thought: The true spirit of our country is found in her people. Living among them assures one that America is truly America the beautiful.
