Show jftTKuJuncj jPaper jbrThinkimj 'People JUNE The month of June gave to the world our flag the grandest flag that was ever unfurled to the breeze, or kissed by the morning sun. A flag given to the air in the Revolutions darkest days. It is a child of sun and storm and represents the sufferings of the past, as well as glories yet to be. It is a symbol of all we are and of all we can hope to be. It is the emblem of equal rights. It means free hands, free and the sovereignty of the individual. It means lips, that this continent has been dedicated to freedom. It means universal education light for every mind, knowledge for every child. It means that the school 'house is the fortress of Liberty. It means that every citizen should bear his share of the public burden, take part in the affairs of his town, his county, his state and his country. It means that the ballot box is the Ark of the Covenant; that the source of authority must not be poisoned. It promises protection to every citizen of our country at home in every State, abroad in every land, on every sea and at all times. It means that all distinctions based on birth or blood have been banished from our laws; that our government shall stand between the weak and the strong, between want and wealth, and give the guarantee of simple justice to each and all. It is the emblem of a supreme will of a nations power. Beneath its folds the weakest must be protected and the strongest must obey. It shields and protects alike the loftiest mansion and the lowliest hunt. The suns rays never cease to shine upon it. Like the star of Bethlehem it leads wise men to nobler, grander, richer life.
