On June 14, this year, the Flag of the United States will be 192 years old. Is there an “American with soul so dead” to whom the sight of “Old Glory’ does not evoke some special memory, something which has touched him deeply, whether fleetingly or in a still, solemn, ever to be forgotten moment? The Flag of the United States is a symbol of freedom, of vic tory over incredible forces, of right over might. It represents the greatest cause ever under taken by mortal man, a cause to which mankind must rally if the lofty concepts of individual dignity and man’s right to self- determination are to be univer sally attained and preserved. For 192 years, Americans from all walks of life have fol lowed “Old Glory”, making the great sacrifices necessary t o build and preserve a great her itage and charting the course to freedom for all who dare to fol low. Under the Flag of the Un ited States, gallant Americans, in the finest tradition of their Nation’s forefathers, are laying their very lives on the line against the aggressive forces of a godless ideology. Should we, here at home, do less than recognize the sacri fices of the men and women wearing our Nation’s uniform through display of the Flag and the showing of proper respect for the living symbol of our Nation? Display of the Flag is a priv ilege. It emphasizes the basic freedom of choice which is the very foundation of mankind’s only hope for a better tomorr ow.
