AM OLD GLORY: For more than eight
■core years I have been the banner of
hope and freedom for generation after
generation of Americans. Born amid the first
flames of America's fight for freedom. I am the
symbol of a country that has grown from a
little group, of thirteen colonies to a united na
tion of forty-eight sovereign states. Planted
firmly on the high pinnacle of American Faith
my gently fluttering folds have proved an in
spiration to untold millions. Men have followed
me into battle with unwavering courage, They
have looked upon me as a symbol of national
unity. They have prayed that they and their
fellow citizens might continue to enjoy the life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness, which have
been granted to every American as the heri
tage of free men. So long as men love liberty
more than life itself; so long as they treasure
the priceless privileges bought with the blood
of our forefathers; so long as the principles
of truth, justice and charity for all remain
deeply rooted in human hearts, I shall con
tinue to be the enduring banner of the United
States of America.
I AM OLD GLORY!

May it be your constant resolve

Of what you have learned in

namely, that you ‘seek first tha
Kingdom of God and His right
eousness.’
May each of you be happy and
successful in your chosen voca

you have done your best.”
