Show The Flag's Birthday Sunday, June 14, is the birth anniversary of the American Flag- When it first streamed out on the breeze it was one of 1 the most beautiful sights ever looked upon by the eyes of men snd represented one of the sublimest sentiments that human I hearts can contain. It waves for a world today that all men b may be free; that every soul may have sufficient food and I clothing and shelter. Let us stand in salute and say with T. i F. MacManus, i 0 flag-of my heart, I love you! O beautiful field of blue, ! 0 shining stars and glorious bars, I pledge my soul to you! I wrap my love in your fluttering folds, and fling it to the wind To the South and North I send it forth, to the East and West in kind; ! To the lands that live in darkness, to the people sick with fear, J prom thy heart unfurled, to all the world, I make my message clear i Nq better I than my brother; no better this land than thine; But under the stars and rippling bars, a gleam of hope divine. |
