gis. age 14. wrote: The American Flag is an emblem of a living country for wh.ch 1 have great respect and re ve rance. It represents the highest ideals of ind.vidual iberty, justice and equal oppor tunity for all. Not only does it represent these, but aso freedom, independence, security, p.otection. education, progress ond prosperity. It makes me proud to see that people repect and care as much about the flag as I do by d.splaying the flag at their homes and busines places on holidays. That is just a few of the th.ngs the flag means to me.” It s not a bad idea for all of us. from time to time, to stop and consider; just what does my country, and my flag, mean to me? There aie very few who will not concede that we who have been pr.viledgod to be born in America are very fortunate. indeed.
