I am so proud of our country and all that we have because of our freedom. I have tried really hard to instill that same pride in my children and today was a great reward. Hunter saw the flag flying and said "Mom, there is the Am-miracle Flag." After he said that he repeated the Pledge of Allegiance to which I credit his great teachers at pre-school for teaching him. His statement really made me think and it truly is a miracle flag and all that it stands for. We are so lucky and so blessed to have such liberty. I am truly grateful to all the men and women who go through so much to give me all my freedom and liberty. They too truly are miracle souls who fight in my behalf and to that I am forever indebted.
President Woodrow Wilson, 1917
This flag, which we honor and under which we serve, is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose as a nation. It has no other character than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choices are ours. It floats in majestic silence above the hosts that execute those choices, whether in peace or in war. And yet, though silent, it speaks to us — speaks to us of the past, or the men and women who went before us, and of the records they wrote upon it.
