T. IKE OFF
YOUR Il At, SOW

IyOUI hLeSSt c4OSpIdy W: fAuIl6A!SI StSSd,
Tor if you should stand bareheaded
while q company of old soldiers
marched BY with flags flying to the
breeze, some people would think you
were showing off
But don't you mind! When Old
Glory comes along, salute, and let
them think what, they please! When
you hear the band play 3'The Star
ISpangled Banner" while you are in a
restaurant or hotel dining room, get
up, even if you rise alone; stand there,
and don't be ashamedsof it, either!
For of all the signs and symbols
/ since the world began there is none
Iother so full of meaning as the flag of
this country That piece of red white
and blue bunting means five thousand
years Of struggle upward. It is the
full-grown flower Of ages Of fighting for
Liberty. It is the century plant of
human hope in bloom.
| Your flag stands for humanity, for
an equal opportunity tosall the sons
of men. Of course, We haven t arrived
yet at that goal; there are many in
justices yet among US, many senseless
land cruel customs of the past still
clinging to us, but the only hope of
righting the wrongs of men lies in TIE
feeling produced in our bosoms by
the sight Of that flag.
Other flags may have glorious past
this flag a glorious future. 1t is not
so much the flag of our fathers as it
is the flag Of our children and of our
children's children yet unborn. 1t is
the flag of tomorrow. It is the. Good
Time Coming" 1t is not the flag of
your king, it is the flag Of yourself and
of all your neighbors.
/ Don't be ashamed when your throat
chokes and the tears come, as you see
lit flying. from the masts Of Our ships
on all the seas or floating from every
flagstaff Of the Republic. You will
never have worthier emotion. Rev
erence it as you would reverence the
signature of the Deity
Listen, son! The band is playing
the. national. anthem The Star
ISpangled Banner!" They have, let
loose Old Glory yonder.. Stand UP
and others will stand with you!
