UNDER THE SKILLFUL FINGERS OF A
VILLAGE SEAMSTRESS ... THE SYMBOL
OF A GREAT NATION WAS BORN
Betsy Rom at the suggestion of General Washington fashioned the
first American flag . . . the living symbol of what a handful of men
and thirteen small states had bitterly fought for and many had given
their lives for . . . The United States of America where the laws were
made by the people who had to live under them. These first thirteen
states?united by one dream and dedicated to one belief are still
exemplified in the thirteen stripes of the Star Spangled Banner. The
original thirteen stars have grown to forty-eight . . . forty-eight states
whose sons today are fighting all over the world for the very doctrines
that our flag stands for . . . the beliefs brought to reality in the first
birth pangs of our nation. And . . . the American flag has carried
those doctrines into the farthest corners of the earth . . . for wherever
it flys free men fight. Let the Star Spangled Banner wave from your
flag staff on Flag Day?and all the week of June 7th to 14th in honor
of a newer, vaster hope . . . The United Nations of the World.
American boys are giving their lives so that the American Flag may
forever freely fly over this, our native land . . . You can buy War
Bonds that will send our men the weapons and equipment that mean
^ y.-a. quicker Victory and a better peace. Make Flag Day, June 14th,
another Bond. .
