Quotations about U.S.A Flag Day
We give our Heads! and our Hearts! to Our Country!
One Country! One Language! One Flag!
We do not consecrate the flag by punishing its desecration, for in doing so, we dilute the freedom this cherished emblem represents.
Twas red with the blood of freemen
and white with the fear of the foe;
And the stars that fit in their courses
‘gainst tyrants its symbols know.
Handover flags will be taken from the party at Weymouth beach to flagpoles across the borough.
There is hopeful symbolism in the fact that flags do not wave in a vacuum.
We do not consecrate the flag by punishing its desecration, for in doing so we dilute the freedom that this cherished emblem represents.
Our flag is not just one of many political points of view. Rather, the flag is a symbol of our national unity.
That piece of red, white and blue bunting means five thousand years of struggle upwards. It is the full-grown flower of ages of fighting for liberty. It is the century plant of human hope in bloom.
The whole inspiration of our life as a nation flows out from the waving folds of this banner.
There is not a thread in it but scorns self-indulgence, weakness and rapacity.
If a jerk burns the flag, America is not threatened, democracy is not under siege, freedom is not at risk.
Yet, Freedom! yet the banner, torn, but flying,
Streams like the thunderstorm against the wind!
If any man haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot.
One flag, one land, one heart, one hand, One Nation, evermore!
The red and white and starry blue
Is freedom’s shield and hope.
