FLAG DAY PROCLAMATION
BY the Governor

The observance Of Flag Day
is Of comparatively recent orig
in and seems to have been be-
gun in the State of New York.
The custom, however, has
spread until practically every
State in the Union has adopted
it.
Honoring the flag means to
honor the principles for which
the flag stands, liberty, justice
and equality. These are the
foundation stones of the Repub-
lie. So long as these great prin-
ciples are really respected and
honored i'm the hearts of the
people our government is safe.
Our free institutions will
weather any storm that may
beat upon them.
Therefore by virtue Of the au-
thority vested in me as Cover
nor Of the State of Michigan, /
hereby proclaim Tuesday, June
IA, 1921, Flag Day.
Let flags be displayed on
both public and lprivate build
ings; and ! request that COM
munity exercises appropriate to
the day be held wherever prac-
ticable.
