(1) The most important symbol of any Nation 
is the national flag.
(2) Since ancient times, flags or banners have 
served to identify and unify groups of people, espe-
cially in times of war.
(3) On June 14, 1777, the Continental Con-
gress passed the following resolution: ‘‘Resolved, 
that the flag of the thirteen United States be thir-
teen stripes alternate red and white; that the union 
be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing 
a new constellation.’’. 
(4) Today, the American flag has 13 horizontal 
stripes, 7 red and 6 white. These stripes represent 
the 13 original States. The flag still has its field of 
blue, which represents the Union and today contains 
50 stars, one for each State. 
(5) The United Sates Code specifies a Pledge of 
Allegiance to the Flag, and states that the flag 
should be displayed on all days. 
(6) President Theodore Roosevelt said, ‘‘There 
can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says 
he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an 
American at all. We have room for but one flag, the 
American flag.’’

Whereas on December 18, 1907, President Theodore Roo-
sevelt created by proclamation the Arkansas National 
Forest on reserved public domain lands south of the Ar-
kansas River; 
Whereas on April 29, 1926, President Calvin Coolidge issued 
an Executive Order to change the name of the Arkansas 
National Forest to the Ouachita National Forest to re-
flect both the name of the mountains embraced by the 
national forest and the name of the principal river which 
drains the national forest; 
Whereas Ouachita is the French spelling of a Native Amer-
ican word meaning ‘‘good hunting ground’’; 
Whereas the Ouachita National Forest today encompasses 
approximately 1.8 million acres in Arkansas and eastern 
Oklahoma and offers a variety of recreation areas, scenic 
areas, wilderness areas, historic resources, and timber 
and other forest products to the Nation; and 
Whereas the Ouachita National Forest is the largest and old-
est national forest in the southern region of the United
