- A Proclamation

^« AiH

The flag, said Woodrow Wilson a half century ago, "is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of a history, and no man can rightly serve under that flag who has not caught some of the meaning of that history." Wilson's remarks perhaps best apply to June 14, 1777. On that day, in the midst of the American Revolution when the trial of purpose and perseverance at Valley Forge was only months away, the Continental Congress gave us the basic form of our national standard: the Stars and Stripes. As those men of the revolution gave the flag form, we continue to give it life by fidelity to those ideals for which it stands—freedom, and equality and brotherhood. We honor the American flag because we respect the history and promise of the American people.
