By Mrs. Henry Odum
I can think of nothing that
thrills me more than to see a flag
glide swiftly up the length of a
high staff and unfurl before my
eyes in the clear brightness of an
early morning. A flag—your flag
—my flag—the flag of these Unit
ed States! How beautiful—
splashes of vivid color as the
breeze waves it gracefully against
the blue sky.
I see it through a smile, and
a team. I am proud of our flag.
As we gaze into its folds we see a
shadow picture. We see Jeffer
son on the very first day of July
4, declaring the idealism of Amer
ica ir> words of immortal elo
quence. We hear him shout, “That
all men are created equal,” with
certain inalienable rights: Life,
liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness.
We see Washington and his
brave men suffering untold agon
ies and hardships for “Govern
ment for the people, by the people,
shall not perish from the earth.”
We hear again in silence Patrick
Henry shout, “Give me liberty or
give me death.” Benjamin Frank
lin and his wisdom. Nathan Hale
declaring that he was sorry that
he had only one life to give for his
country. Not only our great men
of history gave their best for their
flag. Your flag—my flag!
The beauty of the flag is found
in its glorious patriotism—the
faith, courage, hope and friendly
helpfulness of every American,
man and woman, young and old,
and it’s up to you—it’s up to me,
to contribute to its immortality
and Beauty, Your flag—and my
flag.
Stars and bars of our country—
our flag,
Unfurled from valley low to high
est craig,
So brave and free
A cheer for the flag our people j
revere
The flag of our fathers, forever
dear
World peace for thee.
Arise, arise, honor our Nation’s
flag
Unfurled it floats over valley, hill 1
and craig,
A Nation's heart!
Look up! Look up! Its ideals make
men kin,
Its creed is back by many million
men,
A Nation's pride!
Press on! Press on! Law, order,
liberty,
A prayer for strength and nation
unity,
Our Nation impearled,
Our flag with colors, truth-cour
age they bear
And Peace—blessed peaoe with
others to share
Peace of the world!
