have fought and died. To the men
in the army of Gen. Washington the
newly designed Stars and Stripes
was the symbol of freedom. Since
that time it has been the symbol of
freedom to oppressed people all over
the world.
So, in the observation of Flag
Week, let us display the flag of the
United States in every home, in
every shop and every public build
ing. And as we display it let us
remember that it is the symbol of
freedom; that it is the banner which
proclaims to all the world that here
lives people who believe in peace,
but who will fight for the right to
live in peace; that in this country of
ours, may be found freedom, but
that here also may be found the
patriotic spirit that will fight to
preserve that freedom. AS we dis
play the flag let us do so with
prayer; prayer that this world
conflict which is raging may soon
be resolved into a world peace
lasting, because built upon the firm
foundation of the right which
makes might.
